    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.

      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.
