So, has anyone found any interesting shots on their cameras/memory cards? For example, one day I get into my truck, grab the camera, set it in my lap and start getting ready to drive away. But something was amiss, I just knew it! So, I look at the last few shots on my card and find shots of almost every patron getting fuel at the Speedway next door. Yep, my oldest daughter got bored sitting in the truck waiting for me and passed the time by sniping the unsuspecting saps. :mad:

Another time I download a CF card from one of the P&S cameras and start looking at the shots. And guess what I see? The shot below...

Yep, my youngest daughter taking pictures of her big sister. :confused:

This stuff happens to me all the time... How about you?

Jon.

Technically, it wasn't a card, but years ago, I was dating a young lady who invited me over for family Christmas dinner. I had left my camera (a Canon Photura) at home so we used hers. At the end of the evening she let me take the camera to work (Costco) to have the film developed in the Photo center.

As it turns out, she used the camera so rarely that she had TWO different Christmases on the SAME role of film. And LAST Christmas was with some other boyfriend!

I discovered a few extra shots on my backup body that I had left with my bag when a few of my friends decided to snap a few photos of themselves during a show. :lol:

Sounds like they need their own cameras.

I had a camera for sale and trusted a fellow student to take it home with her and do a show and tell with her husband hoping he would OK the purchase. Of course, he said no, and of course she forgot to bring it back the next class, and of course I waited another week and then for a promised return at a class field trip, and then finally after the third I am sorry I forgot, I had to explain that the camera was sold if I didn't have it in 24 hours. This led to a lot of attitude at the return, but what do I care, its not like I lost a friend over this, more like lost a flake but whatever.
Anyway, I was told the camera wasn't used, it only came out of the box to show the reluctant husband, then straight back in the box where it sat for three weeks while I waited to get it back. Luckily I checked the CF card before I took it to the next buyer because what I found was not anything I would have wanted to have been held responsible for. In fact I didn't even want it on my hard drive. It wasn't stuff her kids would have wanted her to know about, and I helped them keep the secret by deleting the shots and formatting the disk.
I learned I couldn't trust a fellow student, and I learned that she couldn't trust her kids, and I learned one heck of alot about her kids- wow. probably the weirdest stuff I will ever find on one of my cards.

It wasn't what I found but what I left - this was about 1955 and I was about 8 years old. I was in my sister's car waiting for her while she visited a friend and found her husband's movie camera in the back seat. I didn't think about it having any film in it and I picked it up and began pretending to film some stuff. Sometime later my brother-in-law was showing us his home movies and all of a sudden in the middle of his movie was some video of a bird hopping around a tree and then some girls walking down the street and into a neighbor's house. I promptly developed a stomach ache and had to leave the room. I think he knew what happened but as far as I know he never told anyone else that I had been playing with his camera. I believe that was my first experience with photography and maybe that traumatic experience is why I prefer still photography over videography.

I spent several years working on skifields... sometimes when we were bored we'd go through the lost property and if there were any cameras there we'd fill up the rest of the roll of film/memory card with body parts, toilet bowl contents and other juvenile stuff before putting them back for their rightful owners to eventually claim.
