When your camera has better math skills than you

Ever notice how your camera can nail that exposure but you can’t remember where you left your lens cap? I swear I spent a solid 10 minutes last week searching for it only to find it stuck to the back of my car! It’s like my gear is trying to embarrass me with all its perfect calculations.

I get that! I’ve started attaching a bright keychain to mine so I can spot it easily. It’s hilarious how my camera is more reliable than I’m these days.

, I feel you! I once spent half an hour finding my lens cap only to discover it was still on the camera. They really do have a knack for making us look a bit silly with their perfect settings.
