I know the feeling - my BIL has been in great places to take pics but he seems to have it on the wrong setting or moves the camera and messes up the pics. He has some good ones, but has messed up soooo many.
That is what happens when you don´t take many pics, you forget things.
That's what happened the other night. Some of the people we were hanging out with were trying to take pictures of some of the dancing shenanigans, but they kept screwing up the settings or forgetting to take the cover off the lens and such, so even though I have a few, they are poor over all. Some of them got accidentally set on the "video" setting, which is fine if you're actually trying to take videos, but if you're trying to catch a still picture, you just get a jumbled up mess.
