  1. Yes
Did some equine today shit of a day about 5 keepers out of 195

Out of focus no idea what went wrong never had a day like it.

Even reverted to auto.

Eye tracking was off.

Will investigate more
 
How about a day where you didn't realize you were in single shot AF and not Servo?

Psst, that day looked exactly like yours if you want to check.
 
Have I ever had a bad day?

Yep....been there and done that and didn't even get a t-shirt. All you can do is to try to find out the why, and then figure out how to prevent it next time, and then the part that is the most difficult for me....remember what I learned and actually prevent it from happening. Sometimes I have to learn the same lesson the hard way more than once it seems.... :ROFLMAO:
 
More bad days than good to be honest, mostly because I have been doing a lot of studio work with flowers. But when I'm outside wandering in nature with my camera even if I'm in the wrong mode or the wrong f/stop or shutter speed I never let it get me down, because I'm outside and wandering around in nature. It would be great if I could always come home with bunches of keepers but sometimes it just doesn't happen. Now if I go out for a workshop and that happens I am not happy at all!😂
 
I think we can all relate to that, we have all had bad days, and will probably have more of them. Best thing to do is learn and move on.
 
To me bad days are days without a click ;)

But keep in mind that "Any day above ground is a good day".
 
I had my worst day last Saturday. Atmospheric distortion, strong wind with stronger gusts while panning the sky at 1/160. Not an ideal location relevant to the suns position and constant ambient light change - cloudy to sunny while panning. 20% keeper rate which I expected. Usually it is the other way around.

A bad day with a digital camera is never as bad as a day with a film camera when you didn't load the film properly and you get no shots at all...

Forgot about this . One time in Portugal I went to one of birding sites and when I got there no card in the camera. It was just only about a hours drive and nothing critical but frustrating.
