Question: Have you got any amusing camera/photo stories!?
My Aunt and Uncle were given a digital camera!. They came to the UK on holiday!. I was taking a photo of them and noticed the battery was low!. So I mentioned it, to which my Aunt replied "Where can we buy a new one!?" I then said you need to put it on the charger!.She replied"What's that, we didn't bring anything else!."

Was at my baby cousins christening some years back!. We were taking pictures of the family!. and we wanted to get the whole family in together!. Which is a lot by the way!. And so my uncle was taking the photo, we were all smiling, and for some reason my uncle wanted to be in there too!. So he took the photo, ran to get in the picture, but what he didn't notice is that the digital camera was not on a tripod!. The camera then smashed on the marble in the Church!. good times, good times!. we were then cracking up about it all the way through the time we were at the fancy restaraunt!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

During a kayak trip to the San Juan Islands in Washington State to paddle with the orcas, we took in a sunset on a cliff on Stuart Island above Turn Point, the western-most point before you reach Victoria, B!.C!. While we sat on the hillside cliff-top, a pod of Dall's porpoises approached with a tanker, playing in the bow waves below us!. I needed to take my favorite wide angle lens off my NikonN6006 and put on my telephoto zoom lens to capture these beautiful black and white marine mammals, and quickly! I slipped my favorite $400 lens into the pocket of my jacket laying on the ground beside so I could click and lock on the telephoto lens !. !. !. or so I thought !. !. !.

There, out of the corner of my eye, I saw something rolling toward the edge of the 150 ft cliff!. It was my lens! All sixteen of us sat and watched as it rolled to the edge and leapt into the abyss! Everyone gasped in unison!. Afterwards they asked why I didn't try to catch it, and how I stayed so calm as my beautiful lens disappeared onto the rocks and probably into the kelp beds below!.

I told them that the lens, a "thing," could be replaced, and although I would miss it and regret its loss, the thought of the group watching as I rolled off that cliff trying to grab it was much more horrific! When asked why I did no cussing or screaming !. !. !. I simply stated that would come later, in private, when I had arrived back home in Iowa!.

There are places no one can hear you scream in Iowa !. !. !. !. Www@QuestionHome@Com
