Change the battery pack #83
As someone who is into nature photography, I learned that I should carry my point-and-shoot camera with me most of the time when I go for my morning walk. You never know when the atmosphere will be right for a good photo. So, sometimes I’ll photograph a few scenes, next time a few more, and so on…
My camera is a bit old. I don’t see any percentages of how much battery is left, so I could plan to charge it. Instead, I have bars, and they are not reliable, especially given that I used the same battery pack that I got with my camera over a decade ago.
I found myself in the forest, surrounded by the dense fog. It was an absolutely dream condition for photography. Before entering this part of the forest I’ve snapped a few compositions. Suddenly and quite unexpectedly I got a message on my camera display to change the battery pack, and my camera shut down. Panic. How is this even possible? I’m not that irresponsible. It would be quite typical to finally get long-awaited conditions and then be disabled from photographing because of not charging the battery. I thought that I didn’t want to photograph with my phone. Now the panic is transforming into rage.
I waited a few moments and tried to turn on my camera. It’s working. The only problem now is, that I can’t zoom in and out because the camera is shutting down immediately.
This forest was actually not my prime target to photograph that morning, but as it was on my way to another much bigger forest I was heading to, I always turned around to see if I could get something here also. I decided to find a composition and then try to photograph it without zooming. You can see the result. I’m actually quite pleased with the shot.
Funny enough, to get to this bigger forest, I mentioned, from here I need ten maybe fifteen minutes of walking. At that time, of course, my camera is turned off. When I got in position to shoot again, my camera was working perfectly fine without any problems with the battery. I could even zoom in and out and transfer my photos on the computer back home. So, I don’t know what happened there in the first place but I guess that the joke’s on me.
