le tour auto ~ le tour de France Automobile 2024

            Triple Webers!  

OK.  Short story time.

I grabbed two Sony A7, one with a 55mm ZA and the other with a Tamron.  I also grabbed the big beefy tripod so that I could make some photos of still cars and moving people.  

As I entered the pavillon I went to set up the tripod and realized I'd left the mount-plate back at the apartment.  

OK.  Plan B - float the ISO and shoot handheld in somewhat dim light.  But as I started with the 55mm ZA to capture a few details that I found interesting, I realized the blasted SD card was full.  9,000+ raw images full.  Cr*p.  

Plan C - shoot only the 20mm Tamron, handheld.  I did not want to change lenses in a dusty environment and have gunk and fluff end up on the sensor.

I couldn't really settle down to get into a nice photography "groove" because I was pretty frustrated with myself.

Here I'd been so careful about getting the kit sorted before the event.  I still can't believe I made these mistakes.  Oh well.  I'll have to be even more careful next time.
