[QUOTE="advnturer, post: 560491, member: 29084"] what happens when you drive 6 hours for your photo session only to find out that you walked off without a memory card? Here I was setting up for a shoot last Memorial Day and my camera beeped telling me to insert memory card. I had left my card pack sitting on my desk, and here I am 100 miles from the closest Walmart. Long story short, I drove into the village of Chama New Mexico knowing that it was a popular tourist destination... hoping to find camera supplies. To my disappointment, I was still without a SD card after checking every shop across from the Cumbres Toltec train station. However, as I was walking out of the last shop, a gentleman named Ralph walked up to me and pulled a SD card out of his Sony camera asking if that was what I was looking for. Long story short.... he took me to his car and handed me two 4GB card and said he did not need anything for them. I learned two very valuable lessons that day... 1.) you can not have too many supplies as long as you have them with you and 2.) and more importantly, I am participating in a wonderful fraternity of bothers and sisters who love photography. Here is the reason I drove 6 hours in an attempt to figure out how to take night time pictures. This is taken with a D3200, 28mm, 25 sec, 6400 ISO [ATTACH=CONFIG]214216._xfImport[/ATTACH] My last words to Ralph as he hurried to meet his family to catch the train was a promise that I will pay his kindness and generosity forward at first opportunity.
