As a photographer, lets share what are the stupid things you might or have done so far

Lets keep this thread roll...

1. Leaving the ISO set to 1600 when you are shooting in bright daylight

2. Arriving at your location and found out you didn't bring memory card or film

3. Not using tripod for slow shutter speeds and then discovering all your photos are blurred

4. Putting a filter in your jacket pocket, taking the jacket off and then sitting on it

5. Picking up your camera bag when it's not zipped up and the contents drop out

6. Forget to charge your batteries and only found out after you have leaved home

7. Failing in the river, lake, sea when you are carrying your camera bag which all your gears are in

8. Turning up to photograph an event the day AFTER the event (is it possible? hehe)

err.. taking the camera bag to the event, only to discover there's no camera inside.

use laser pointer and point into those lens when photographer taking pictures

kekeke

After exposures indicator exceeds 38 going to 40's.. then found out the negative koyak in side camera.. all those shots

taking pictures when i realize i didnt put the battery in...

taking pictures without taking the lens cover...

while taking picture, accidently slip the camera... luckily, nothing major happened...

taken picture at bright day light with low shutter speed/high ISO

I forgotten to charge the batteries in a gathering. Luckily I always have spare alkaline batteries.

high ISO and slow shutter outdoor in bright daylight...
i ruined my trip's photo...half of my day trip photo to morocco...GONE!
even brightness and d-lighting cannot help!

i got another one.

tried to use the blower to blow away the dust on my mirror (before sensor). suddenly the tube of the blower came out and hit the mirror (luckily not yet mirror up) due to the blower too old and tube wasn't intact with the pump anymore.

This mistake cost my RM100 to replace the viewfinder mirror.

couldn't agree more

i was looking at the view finder and wth, why all black geh? then walao.. the cap still there.

Same same.

ahh yess.. the blower.. been there..

there was one time my kid sister playing with the blower and use it to suck and blow water (fortunately its only plain water..)..
i didnt know bout this.. (not until my mom told me..)
i used the same blower to blow some dusts from the sensor, but there are still some water leftover inside the blower..

as of now, my kid sister ady got her own set of "blower"..(the one u use to suck the "booger" from infant with runny nose..)..

lol.. should i reply here or at clubsnap....

i think this happen all the time even for the pro....

i shoot models with spot metering mode when there are bright sunlight.....
and when i do metering i include some of the background.. at the end.. the models overexpose while background perfect exposure...

ive done 1,5,6

i've had a friend who took 2 rolls of pictures with invinsible film! he's using a manual camera and twice he went shooting without any film in it...

shoot without removing the cap.. (check here check there, why so dark one the view finder)

1. forgot too turn on the camera.

2. forgot to remove lens cap.
