PLAY May - Sony 16mm f/2.8: Street Photo... NOT!

Whilst in Paimpont village earlier this evening I took some candid street shots that I thought might have some merit. So it was with some anticipation that I recovered the memory card just after 11pm to upload the results to my PC...AARGHHHH!!! No *&%££$~ memory card in the camera! I had forgotten this unfortunate trait of my Sony NEX 6 & 7 to allow you to shoot happily away without any indication that the memory card is absent: you even get a preview of the shot you have just 'taken' on the rear screen to lull you into a false sense of security.

This was taken in the garden in the rain in order to have something to post for my PLAY project - you can read more about it in my profile - where I'll be using a different prime lens for each month of the year: for May it's the Sony 16mm f/2.8 on an APS-C sensor camera (today the Sony Nex-7) - the equivalent of a 24mm lens on a full-frame camera.

BoB I think...

I connect my camera to my computer and download that way. I don't have a place from my memory card. But I remember taking firm pictures when the film wasn't set right and no pics. (Like for my nephew's wedding. Ah well. this is a very beautiful picture.

O te miserum! Woe is you!
Surely Sony has has shedloads of feedback on this issue. Many of us like to think that Sony knows what it's doing :-o

And so you you know the feeling of a rangefinder user shooting in manual mode with the lens cap on... nice recovery photo, however!

Well, you picked yourself up off the canvas, shook your head, and went back into the fight swinging. Nice shot of sea pinks.
