    #%#%!%% :)

    [rant] There was a fire down the road this morning. Lots of smoke. Thought I would have a good pic for my first one to post here.
    I was snapping away then realized I was using a 24 exposure roll and had snapped much more than that.

    Sigh....The film wasn't loaded on the spool and I didn't get one picture.[/rant]

    Oh well just I guess i have a full roll to take up now that I have made definate sure it is done right this time lol. Still a lot to learn

    No worries mate. Happens to the best of us. I was in Antelope Canyon last February and shot a whole roll of 30 before I realized my camera was empty

    You just gotta forgive yourself and know that the next opportunity to right around the corner - and be prepared!

    I think at one time or another we all had this happen to us. It is a lesson that once learned never has to be repeated. You learn to check that take up spool very carefully and never have that happen again. Sorry, those things always seem to happen when you have the greatest picture opportunities.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??
