Just dragged myself out to take a shot of an isolated cottage I spotted the other day.
I figured the sun would set nicely behind it and make a great picture. Nice undulating field leading invitingly up to it.
Was amazed to find a parking space really close. Thought it would be a hike.
Set the camera up with my 55-250mm on tripod. No Card in Camera!! Remember leaving it on desk. FAIL!
Nooo! That’s the worst feeling! Had that happen enough that I started stashing extra cards around - at least one in my camera bag and one in my glove box 😁
It’s weird modern cameras don’t have even tiny amount of internal memory, like 2GB or something small like that, just for cases like this…
I knew what you were talking about even before opening the thread.
Always carry more than one SD card. I have one in the camera and a case full of them hidden somewhere in the camera bag.
I know man. Very annoyed at myself. Couldnt believe I didn’t have any in my bag. 4 of them at home ☹
Went on a weekend getaway last month. 4 day stay in a ocean view hotel 50 miles away from any actual grocery store. Went to take my first shot and boom!.. no card in camera. Made a post on Facebook in a local-ish camera group and found a man willing to sell me one of his SD cards. That was a stressful situation at first.
