Default Aging

I was trying to shoot some remote control shots I couldn't figure out why it wasn't firing consistantly... Then I put my glasses on and saw I had been pointing the wrong end of the remote at the camera....this aging process is not all its cracked up to be

Funny stuff, Ty! It's good to mock yourself once in a while! It keeps us grounded! I've got enough material to keep me grounded enough to dig a hole to China!

Thanks for sharing!

LOL. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has to put on my glasses to see what I am doing. I love how you managed to keep the puzzled look in your shot.

I have done that!!!! Nikon's remote is shaped the opposite way you'd think it ought to be, so out come the glasses.

Thanks Mike I was looking at everything but the remote I painted a red dot at the shooting end maybe that will help

ah ha ha! That's too funny. Sad to say though I've done similar stuff and I'm only 22... I don't even have an excuse for it so maybe that's the bright side of it for you huh?
