:D That story just made my day Rogier van der Peijl
Yesterday I ran out of film during the processional and had to reload film right as the bride and father were walking down the aisle. I loaded too fast, and the MZ-S jammed. I quickly handed the unit off to my assistant, grabbed the other body and shot away. Apparently I handed the thing off a little too hard, because I snapped the shoe on the hot shoe adapter. So she gets up there, and they're saying what they say, and I have a moment to try and get the other MZ-S online. I don't have a pen handy, so I use the corkscrew on my swiss army knife to depress the rewind button. In my rush I stab myself on my finger. Now I'm bleeding, and of course, the damned thing is is still jammed. I *do* have 2 or 3 shots of her coming down the aisle with her dad, so I can't just open the thing up - it's out of commission for the ceremony. Now I notice that I'm actually bleeding on my gear. I have no tissues or towels, and I'm not about to let blood dry on my lens, so, yes, I lick it off right in the middle of the ceremony. I glance up to see all the bridesmaids staring at me as I lick my 28-70/2.8. Otherwise it went swimmingly, except for the flash I broke. tv _________________________________________________________________ Meld je aan bij de grootste e-mailservice wereldwijd met MSN Hotmail: http://www.hotmail.com/nl - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
