Set off to the girlfriends for the weekend.I had picked a walk specifically for it's photogenic qualities rather than my usual oomph factor.Pulled out the camera for the first shot,No cf card in camera..Aargh ! I had left it in the card reader in the pooter,and the other one was on the mantle..doh.

I drove to the nearest town and found a camera shop,they wanted ?114 for a 1gb card :roll: I just bought a 2gb a while ago for ?38.

Lesson learnt hopefully,no shots this weekend :cry:

It's amazing how much i missed it,like the old saying you don't realise what you have till it's gone.We saw a kestrel up really close too, i have been itching to get a shot of one hovering for ages.Maybe next time.

Well, I have't quite done that - but walked for over an hour to a place I wanted to shoot, then couldn't figure out why the camera wouldn't work - the battery was still in the charger on the kitchen counter :shock:

I don't feel so bad then ! It was funny i kept looking dumbly at the viewfinder like it was lying or something.

Yeah, so did I. Gotta tell ya, I felt pretty darn stupid standing there. Taught me a lesson though - now I go through my backpack - every nook a cranny and check everything in it before I go out.

Lol,

What a pain!

I know I would do it if I didnt leave the card in the camera most of the time.

Im sure you will get another chance to get that kestrel.

Aye ,no doubt.They are pretty common so it's a case of right place right time. Got some shots of a pair of peregrine falcons that are nesting on Malham cove the other week,that was pretty cool.
