A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Rookie Error... (alien.top)

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!

I leave the card slot on my camera open whenever the card is not in it. That way I can’t ever pick it up without knowing that it has no card.

That is what I do, and it has saved me countless times.

I've calculated the likelyhood of me smashing my slot door off is higher than forgetting the memory card, now that I always keep a spare 16Gb card in the camera bag.
