The other camera has worked. So what.
Show threadPerspectivistOct 17
The other camera (my phone) doesn’t have a 200mm telephoto lens.

…yet?

That’s the spirit!!

Phones are about 30% camera now, so eventually they will.
Show threadastreusOct 17
And then you have the Xiamoi Ultra range which is basically a bridge camera with a phone attached!
Show threadKokoSabreScruffyOct 17
Yeah, you go to read reviews about phones and 2/3 of it is talking about the camera…
Show threadAbsolutelyClawlessOct 17
Because everything else barely matters anymore. Most modern phones are powerful enough for everything to run smoothly. Hell, most people don’t even really need the high specs when all they do is social media and internet browsing.

After the first time I drove 3.5 hours to a dark sky spot for astrophotography (late at night with no civilization nearby to avoid light pollution) with no SD card I bought a 32gb card, wrapped it up with tape and have it in my wallet at all times.

Thankfully that was a 3 night camp out so I drove to the nearest town and saved the other two nights hahah

lmao that sucks so bad. could you keep a backup in your bag just in case of stuff like this?
Show threadDestideOct 17
Backup in the other sd slot on the laptop
Show threadmassive_bereavementOct 17
That could be a sticker I would like to stick.

Thank you for the laugh. Probably better than the photo would have been

Ripppp 🥲

At least you gave some to folks here a wince and chuckle. The best art evokes emotion 😅

If I haven’t gone completely pants on head insane, don’t most cameras have at least a small internal memory reserve? I mean it’s always possible that this one doesn’t but whatever.
Show threadiegodOct 17
The higher end ones typically do not.
Show threadPerspectivistOct 17
Nowdays probably but this one an ancient 550D.
Show threadKingRandomGuyOct 17
Very few high end cameras actually have an option to store photos internally, unfortunately. I think some super high end Hasselblads internally have an SSD (would be cool if more manufacturers did this), but most can’t write photos without a card.
Show threadiegodOct 17
How do you not have backups with your gear? I’ll have like four on me at any given time.
Show threadPerspectivistOct 17
See the reflection of my hi-vis work jacket there? That’s why. I’m a construction worker who brought their 15 year old camera to work.
Show threadshneancyOct 17
and by accident you went through the rite of passage of all photographers! welcome to the club :) now you’ll carry 4 with you everywhere lol
Show threadDJ PutlerOct 17
I keep my cards in a little fluorescent-colored zipper wallet that holds like 50 of them I got off Temu highly recommended

ONE SHOT, one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted.

Mom’s spaghetti!
Show threadKingRandomGuyOct 17
Mildly useful tip: when you take a card or battery out of your camera, leave the door open until you put it back in. That way you’ll know if you forgot to put one of them back into the camera. I do this and it’s saved me a few times.
Show threadZoopZeZoopOct 17
Doesn’t that increase the chance of breaking the door? I’d say having extras is a safer choice.
Show threadKingRandomGuyOct 17
Ideally you’d have extras too! Normally if I’m taking the card or battery out of my camera, leaving the camera safely in my bag (which is also not being moved), so there’s no real risk of damage.
Show threadZoopZeZoopOct 17
I’m a clutz some times. So, I have to close mine right away.
Show threadIMALlamaOct 18

Extras can be pricey. I have two kids in youth sports and shoot a few games a season to give everyone photos. Bursts on an A9II drastically increase the odds of getting some good hero shots like a ball leaving a batt or going into a glove, but it’s really easy to blow past 4k photos. Fast cards tend to be $$ :(

So anyway, I was at a game last weekend and scoping things out. I flipped the camera on and…

Damn I wish I thought of that before going to a fall festival for pumpkin themed photos with my family. I snapped so many pics before I noticed.
Show threadgrffOct 17
This is something I haven’t thought about much since switching over to film primarily. Its hard to forget all those rolls of film, im going to have to be careful when I pick up digital again
Show threadblockheadjtOct 18

Good thing cameras have internal storage, right?

Guy whispers in ear

Oh… not anymore?

“Not to worry, I’ll just stop by a Walmart or whatever on my lunch break and grab a cheap card.”

“They want how much for four gigs?”
