Planning ahead prevents disappointment.

Slipping out of the house for lunch yesterday, I hopped on my bicycle with my Pentax K7 slung around my neck, hoping to get some car photos on an unusually warm autumn afternoon.

Glancing at the LCD screen on the camera's top panel as I turned it on, I noticed the dreaded "----" in the space where the "Shots Remaining" readout would be. Oops, that's right... I had the SD card from the K7 in the card reader on my desktop. D'oh!

However, because I've had this happen before, I was ready this time.

In my peregrinations about the neighborhood, I carry a little canvas tote that holds my iPad, an umbrella, a wind shell stuffed in a little pouch, a pint glass koozie... and waterproof little memory card holder that looks like a teeny Pelican case. Inside it I keep a couple CF cards, a few SD cards, and even a MicroSD just in case.




Problem averted!
