....JUST SO MUCH INTELLECTUAL MASTURBATION?

[bribrius]

just now. perfect example of why. i go out with the camera. turn it on. no memory card. goes in demo mode. Take ten wonderful shots. One i had been thinking of for a while. thinking im not sure if i can get them back off as they are in camera but cant afford not to try.. turn the camera off. And they are poof gone. I guess nothing is saved in camera, lesson learned.
i cant believe i forgot to bring a memory card.

UGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And yes, this is my first time ever, forgetting a memory card.

Total rookie move....telling us about the FIRST TIME you forgot the memory card...come back when you've done it 3,4,5 times and THEN tell us your war story!!! (I've done it 3 times, that I will admit to...)

its all good. made up for it today. contributed one of my photos to the local historical fans club im in at my wifes urging(first thing i've ever contributed and been in it for a long time), they like recent ones too for comparison I guess and since I collect photos and shoot photos ive collected.... Its more historical based for the southern maine region just a little club nothing professional. Already had 22 thankyous and just posted it over there a hour ago. My good deed for the week, maybe my karma will get better now and I wont forget memory cards.

So thoughts about photographs, as in "What can one read from a photograph?" are intellectual masturbation. But thoughts about those thoughts ("reminded me of the intellectual masturabation . . .") are not. I think I could enjoy both conversations.
I once had a student in a philosophy class who responded to a discussion of St. Anselm's Ontological Argument for the existence of God by slamming his book on desk and declaring, "This is just mental masturbation!" My response surprised even me. I asked "Do you object to it because it is mental?" He left class and never came back.

just imagine if you brought up pascals theory or the omega point theories.

I take what I said in post 91 back. now that im seeing the likes on the facebook page too (not a bad thing) im also seeing the photo being shared and passed around on facebook. Granted im not a pro and much of my stuff, well is a acquired taste, but that is pretty annoying watching your photo bounce and being shared with no credit due. so much for it staying within the club. so far I have only seen ONE person give reference to me. Plenty of thankyous, plenty of likes. But passing it on just ONE. That is annoying.

why they couldn't have kept it where I contributed it I coudnt tell ya.

grrrrrrrr.
I don't have lightroom, still no watermark. Normally I never have a issue because none of my stuff really goes on line anyway im not that eager actually recluse.. no website, no flikr, not many people on my facebook page mostly family (I limit it who is on it and what I have for photos on it) and no one goes through my drives or prints without me there so...
I don't normally share or run into this issue I don't publicize other than b.s..
couldn't use it in this case anyway how could you contribute a photo ruined with a watermark? maybe I do need one I dunno..

At least it wasn't one tripod leg. I mean, I've HEARD of that happening to *someone else*. Not me... Never.

You could toss a watermark on your images using GIMP... it's not as powerful as Photoshop but it's free, open-source, and fairly capable.
