24 hours ago when you were flipping dials and buttons on your camera

Have you ever changed the settings on your camera in an attempt to get a decent shot of a super cool lightening storm?  

And end up not being able to get a single halfway decent shot of the lightning?  Have you had that experience?

And the very next morning, have you by chance gotten up early to go to the farmers market because you have not been able to get there for the last 2 weeks?  And you take lots of pictures as is your normal modus operendi.

And then when you sit down at 9:30pm to happily select the best of those great images you captured you look at the pictures and say "what the %$#^ is going on?"

And only then does your mind go back to 24 hours ago when you were flipping dials and buttons on your camera.  And you finally realize that you did not return those dials and buttons to their normal settings.  I'm only asking because I would hate to be the only person who has ever done such a thing.

You are not alone. :-)
I like the lightning shot, even if it wasn't what you were going for. I tried to get some cool shots of a full moon and changed a bunch of settings, but never got the moon as I saw it in my mind. And to boot, there were UFOs in every single shot. Which I later determined was the moon reflecting between the lens and lens filter. But it was a nice adventure for about 2 minutes!

I miss shots ALL THE TIME because I forget to switch back from "macro" to "regular" and back...........

I have personally NEVER done that! **wink wink**
But...
SOMEBODY did it to mine once...
And...
That SOMEBODY deleted all the pictures!
So..the moral is...well..I guess there is no moral..
Never mind...

I'm sure it's just you! HAHAHAHA

When I was using my old Minolta 101 SLR with Kodachrome, I took a whole role of film for a photography class assignment....only there was no film loaded in the camera. Talk about a red face moment.

Took a whole bunch of pics of the fam at the pool without realizing that the camera was still set to black and white.
