Worst nightmare happened to me recently. On shoot with a couple (just before their baby is born) took about 1000 photos. Saved on both cards. Got to my studio, started transfering the photos, crashed on photo #14. Went to see what happened, both SD cards were clean. No files whatsoever ... a single tear dropped down my face, then ... massive anger! Had to reshoot the whole thing the following week... first time it happened to me in 10+ years of shooting every single week. Set both cards on fire. Bought new cards. They did the job fine.

Saw your title - and having just got back from a tramp/hike to Kapuni Lodge on Taranaki on which I'd discovered I had no SD card in my camera and nor did I have a spare stowed away somewhere even after taking great care to pack everything I needed the night before - I immediately thought, 'today it's no SD card in the camera!' And lo and behold, there you were - remedying a 'No SD card' from three years prior. Fortunately for me, I won't have to wait three years to get up to Kapuni Lodge again as it's a 40-minute drive from Te Hāwera to Te Rere o Kapuni followed by a 90-minute uphill trek. So enjoy your videos, James. Looking forward to the new location and the new office. Oh dear on the news that Wales is going into lockdown. Stay safe.

You should consider using a longer lens (70-200mm equivalent) for woodland. I saw at least 3 marvelous compositions in the first four minutes of this video that a longer lens would have captured brilliantly. They're great for isolating details, tree branch patterns, etc. in the woods. My last foliage shoot the other day, I used my long zoom almost exclusively. Anyway, congrats on the new house.

Batteries take some time to charge, that's true - even more of a reason to not close these doors, you WILL have forgotten that battery by the time it is charged. Get a second one, switch through them with charging. Also, while you empty your card and charge the battery you don't use that camera - put it somewhere safe.

Was curious, so Googled it. "Close to the disused 19th century, water-powered Machno Woollen Mill built in 1839, there is a drystone-built, packhorse bridge over the Machno river. This is known as the 'Roman Bridge' but it is actually 16th or 17th century. Penmachno is, however, near the section of the Sarn Helen Roman road from Betws-y-Coed to the Roman fort of Tomen y Mur."

While photographing the Golden Gate bridge more than 30 years ago from a cliff on the Sausalito side, I started to slide down. It was a 750-foot drop. I was wearing street shoes, and there was nothing but dirt on the way down, so I had no easy way to put on the brakes. There was a small rock sticking up, which I grabbed. I gingerly removed the Hasselblad from my neck, figuring I could come up with $3000 to replace it, but I couldn't replace me. Luckily, I was able to scramble back to safety (very carefully!). Trust me, there are worse things than getting out there without a card. BTW, wouldn't it be smart to carry a spare card in your pocket? Then It wouldn't matter whether or not the camera had dual slots.

Happened to me in Germany in March. Over several days I'd been balancing the load out I was taking for walking around the city of Nuremberg. Trying to work out what I needed for casual photography with my X-T1 and still have bag capacity for gifts, snacks etc. Third day enjoying a tour and realised I left the SD card in my laptop from transferring photos the night before. Gutted. So I was faced with a 2 hour mess around going back to the hotel or just enjoy as much as I could and use the phone. I keep spare SD cards in my camera bag but I didn't bring that on this day. Lesson learnt. Luckily my X-T3 now has 2 card slots. So I always keep a 32gb UHS-II card in the 2nd slot that I don't really use. To cover that in future.

Of course I don't spend a ton on the "backup" polarizer since it is a backup and rarely to I need to call on it (so I might spend $100 on one but it mostly lives in the camera bag, but like most other things you have spares of, it's a good idea to keep a second one handy, even a cheaper one would work in a pinch, over no polarizer).

Great video, I would love to see how you edited these photos. Really like the colours of them.

I keep my memory card holders physically attached to my bag - makes it much harder to forget any cards.

@@JamesPopsysPhoto Also makes me *less* likely to drop my entire memory card collection off a cliff/into a river/down a canyon. String will do the job, but I spend a few pounds and use cheap coiled kevlar lanyards. Given the cost of memory cards (even cheaper ones) it makes sense to me & it's already saved my bacon once...

Wonder why they cannot put an onboard memory chip of say 512 MB in the camera...The sony Cybershot HX100v had something like that and that would save the day on odd occasions when the SD cards are left behind and not in the camera card slots.

Id appreciate a video explain how you get the local contrast to where you get it

I also forgot my sd card once. Me and some friends went to do a BASE jump from a powerplant in use. So we had to jump over fences, run from dogs, avoid the guards and climb a long smokestack only to realize I forgot the memory card. I didn't cry and climb back down, so in a way it was still a success. But still.... Anyways from that day on I always leave the door open if there is no memory card in. And if there is any room for it (as there usually is on action cameras) I add a spare memory card with tape on it. I have not yet found a good spot for my DSLR since they use larger memory cards.

So, are boots waterproof as it says on the box or not? Actually what boots can you recommend for outdoor shooting trips?

Do you reckon he wore a blue jacket on purpose to contrast with the autumnal colours?

Always interested in learning from others. Love the composing you do, would also love to see your editing process and Lightroom workflow(s). Still trying to break away from Bridge and Camera Raw for editing. Congrats on the move and thanks for the reminder about the sale.

After watching TheMissendenFlyer's three episode series on his mini motorcycle tour of Wales and three other guys taking little motorcycles into Wales I looked up home prices there. Guess we'll be staying in the States.......or wait for a real estate crash. But dang, what wonderful looking country! Then there is Itchy Boots on tour at the moment in Scandinavia with epic country side there too. You are very lucky to live there.

Meant to add, been there, done that, so I try to keep extra cards in the bag. I also leave the card door open (and the battery door) to remind me that I took things out. It works. Most of the time. :^)
