What's The Dumbest Thing You Did Last Year?

After much procrastination I finally dug my Bronica out of the closet but shot half a roll of film before I realized I forgot to remove the slide from the back. And then did the same thing again with the next roll.

Oh, wait, most of you probably don't know what the slide is... or a Bronica... or film...

What the hell are you talking about? This is a photography forum, not an old folks home!

I probably did dumber things last year, but in this context:
Dropping my brandnew 85mm 1.8 onto the stone pavement.
Note to myself: Check out some insurance.

While on holiday in Lincolnshire, I decided to go to Wicken Fen nature reserve to, among other things, photograph Dragonflies.
Carefully selected lenses etc.
20 miles down the A1, realised no camera.
Saw lots of dragonflies of course.
Ho hum.

Grow a tumor. Oh wait were we talking about photography? Yeah really doesn't compare.

Probably buy a L lens...at least..that's the view of my parents :P

It's not often that I laugh out loud from reading a forum.

I thought it was funny, too, until I realized that I was being relegated to the geriatric ward at the age of 40! *sigh*

Agreed to a "partner" that I can't get rid of now.

What started out as a "pool our resources, share our gear, split any income - hope like hell we break even" has become "I spend all the money, do all the leg work, take all the photos - no where near break even", and because he's a family friend, co-worker, and ride share - and still *says* the right things, I can't get him to back out and leave me to it.

Had a shoot scheduled in a park. Decided after packing all my equipment I would go to Lowe's and buy a wagon so I wouldn't have to carry the equipment. Got to the park. Loaded all my equipment onto the wagon. Felt proud of myself for being smart enough to get the wagon to lug my lights,reflectors,Vega​bond, and camera bag.

Then I realized I had left my camera bag on my kitchen table 20 miles away.

Sorry, but this one tickled my funny bone. Total LOL!

Forgot my SD600 at home for a trip to Japan and, during the same trip, decided to leave my 5DmkII in the hotel room so I had no camera (except an iPhone) when I needed one.

I took what I thought were a great shoot full of photos, then got back to upload them into my computer and realized I was at ISO 800 the whole time... Noise city. Fffuuuuu......

Shot a full day on iso3200 on my 5D Classic....
