so we had this huge storm this afternoon - warnings on the radio and all.
I grabbed my Bronica ETR and my D70, ran past the fridge for a few rolls of delta 400 and jumped in the car. Lots a lightning - but it was too bright to catch it. I drove down to this river crossing near by where there are a lot of huge dead trees to get the stormy sky. I primarily used my ETR as it is less effected by rain.. but after a few rolls I noticed that the light wasn't coming on in the prism.. the battery was flat.
Doh!!!!
I know that I /was/ working initially.. but in the excitement of it all I was just not paying attention. When the battery goes flat, it can't control the shutter properly, so it shoots at 1/500 for each shot. Crap. Will post if any of them turn out.
