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

Lets keep this thread roll... icon_rolleyes.gif

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)

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. sad.gif
