Today we had a fun outing for work and I decided to take my camera with me. Didn’t get any decent shots because I’ve forgotten how to work a camera beyond pressing the button that makes the camera make the clicking noise and then having an image magically appear in the screen thingamy on the back. I consider it lucky that there were times I actually remembered to remove the lens cap before trying to take a pic. And then I got myself all in a panic because the shutter wouldn’t release, so I put the camera back in the car and gave it up for the day.
When I got home, I pulled out my D80 Field Guide and reminded myself how to change my White Balance, ISO, and Exposure. And it turns out there’s nothing wrong with the shutter. Trying to take a picture with the camera set to “A” or “M” will mess you up like that, especially when you’re meant to be in “P.”
So. There’s that.
