So thismorning I woke up at 430 am couldnt sleep and decided to continue some Uni assignments. After a while the sun started comming up over the range (I live on the northern tablelands) and i realised it was the perfect foggy morning to shoot some mistly images of apple and cherry blossoms.....

Alas i opened my camera bag, pulled out the camera and was about to walk out the door when I realised that i had left it on and the battery was flat, forgot to charge the spair last time I swapped them out ARRRRRRRGHHHHHH!!!!!! :oops:

We have all done that, or gone out to take photos, driven an hour, got setup and realised the memory card is at home in the card reader :eek:

No way.. Never done any of those yet.. That's what getting older does for you.
You check and check again as you cannot remember if you checked the first time.. :D

Trust me, my batteries are charged. I have now decided the best defence to age is to be preppared at all times :Doh:

I was about to start an arranged outside shoot for a company, with a model and lots of products to photograph, and I pulled out all my gear and started to get set up, when the tripod I brought fell to bits!
I didn't have another tripod with me, so I had to do the whole shoot handheld.
Luckily it was a bright sunny day and it all worked out reallly well, but I was so angry at myself for not bringing another tripod with me.

Not related to photography, but I was racing a car and in all the excitement and trying to get the car prepared for the race, right up to the last second, no-one remembered to put fuel into it, and I ran out of petrol on the third lap of the race.
Most embarrasing............................
