Photo a day fail

I’ve been on a personal quest to take a photo a day since I realized that I was not paying attention to my favorite hobby. On Saturday I failed miserably.

My wife and I had a park day. We grabbed beach chairs, books, and some grub and then found a good shade tree in a local park. We choose Huntington Central Park near the library. It’s close enough to the beach to enjoy the sea breeze and hardly ever crowded.

I took my camera along. I shot pictures too. my subjects were dogs, people, and birds. A took a couple of dozen shots. When I  tried to unload later that day, I found the camera’s memory card already in a loaded in slot on my computer. D’oh! The Nikon D300 lets me take demo mode pictures without media. I never noticed while shooting because I don’t use the photo preview function.

I later told my wife that had goofed and was out of film. I could see her thinking, old Joe is old.

Ahhhh, oh well, hopefully you will remember for next time.

I was in Santa Fe this weekend and jebus that place is amazingly photographic. I could just stand around taking pictures constantly there. My gf wanted to go for the Indian Market going on this past weekend which just added to the photo opportunities.
Custom Setting #F9 can be used to lock the shutter release if the flash card is not present. See page 310 of the D300 manual.
