22 July
no cf card!>

This morning I walked part of the journey to work because the gap in buses was so long. As I approached Trafalgar Square I heard The Trumpeters of The Household Cavalry so I grabbed my camera and ran towards them. Not only were the trumpeters there but also a Chelsea Pensioner and a group of beefy Army Personnel. I got there just in time.... pressed the shutter and...."No CF Card". Arrrggghhh!

I have no idea why they were there... I was so angry I did a bit of marching myself. I'm afraid I didn't have any other time to take photos so this is it - a constructed image of the 'photo' I took. Off to replace the card now...........

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel

Remember doing that with my 300D! It happens to us all sometimes!

Most of all I like the exif file... most of all I feel pity for not being able to see The Trumpeters.

ha ha - sorry to laugh but 'been there done that'!!! I once spent a whole hour at 6am in my garden photographing frost on plants, only to discover no CF card. I subsequently changed the settings on my camera so I couldn't take a shot with no cf card in!!!

At least you have the hack installed -- otherwise you wouldn't have known until after you took 50 pictures and got home and went to take out the card.
