How not to be a photographer

It helps a lot if you only expose each film once.

blue-winged geese at Blackbrook and bank mynah at Lotherton Hall.

I had a film which was not completly wound back into the cassette, and re-loaded it thinking it was an unused one. I spoilt all my Wingham photos.

It happens to the best of us. I have done it a couple times myself. (Now when I use film, which is only occasionally, I immediately write on the canister with a sharpie after I shoot it. Although I can set my camera to pull the leader in at the end if I want to, I have it set to leave the leader out because it makes it easier for the lab people - and since I work at the photo lab I try to keep them happy :).)

First time I went to Newquay Zoo as a kid I got halfway round before realising I hadn't even loaded any film. Cue frantic doubling-back to re-take as many as possible!

On one occasion when I was young I took all my photos on a visit to Wellington Zoo with the lens cap still on the camera....!

There is an episode of the original "Star Trek" from the 1960s where Captain Kirk is trapped in another dimension and periodically pops back into normal space. They must have used the same technique for those effects. I think that this photo is cool. It's very weird to think that the younger members of our ZooChat community have grown up in a world where film is an archaic technology to anybody younger than 20.

I can remember the first digital camera I ever saw. A girl on grade 6 camp brought her mum's camera. I thought it was incredible at the time because they were still so expensive. Who would have thought back then that in 7 years time you could get one for less than $100.
