"It's a known fact: women do not burp or fart; therefore they must bitch or else they will explode."
I read that somewhere. There had been a little more to it, but that's all I can remember. |

There's a setting for taking pictures without a Card??

Depends on the camera - on the 20D (and I'm fairly sure the D70 too) there's a setting to stop the shutter firing if you have no CF card in. I imagine the 350D is the same.

| I had to take photos in really low light, I hadn't had my new Minolta long, and it took me about 10 minutes to find the option in the menus to enable flash assist again while my subjects got REALLY impatient. |

| Well it's not so much the stupidest thing ever - but I seem to have this issue - that whenever I've been out taking night shots - I leave the camera set on shutter priority, with a thirty second exposure setting - really great the next day when you go to take a snapshot of the family the day after and don't realise til 6 or 7 seconds later that the shutter is still open. |

There are a couple of setting that I have on occasion neglected to check before starting to shoot happily away, ISO and the image size. I have been known to put the ISO very high when shooting in low light and then forgetting to set it back when there is plenty of light, not a good thing when using the F828. I have also forgotten to put the photo size back to 8 MP after shooting a bunch of shots at lower resolution.
Before starting to shoot you should check, the ISO setting, the resolution, the white balance setting and anything else that could mess up a photo if not set right.

| How about setting custom white balance for your dining room lighting, and then going out to shoot abandoned buildings at 7:00am the next morning and forgetting to reset the white balance. You get a nice shade of blue tinge to everything you shoot. |

WOW!. That is a really high ISO setting. I shoot everything at ISO 100, which is the lowest setting my camera has, and I still get a lot of noise in images. How are you for electronic noise?

| On a paid portrait shoot, forgot that I had the camera on self-timer from a previous shot. On the first shot the camera starts beeping and the little light starts flashing and I looked like an idiot trying to figure out how to turn the damn thing off. |

A little embarrasment doesn't hurt anyone and looking stupid is the perfect cover for intelligence.

This past weekend was a good one...I always have my camera in Manual (except for a quick jaunt to Av or Tv for specific purpose). I also always keep my camera on centre-point AF.
This weekend I was going crazy for at least an hour or so because the 300d was using all of it's focus points. So wtf is going on? I was going nuts! I couldn't change the focus point to be centre-point only! I reset the camera, took the battery off, changed lenses...aaaaaahhh!!!
So my friend looked at it and within 30 seconds said "Dude, it's on Auto Depth of Field mode"...!!!! What a stupid mode.
Talk about embarassing. But I learned.

As a photographer, I'm often drawn toward something unexpected, and the unexpected tends to paint us a little stupid sometimes, at least for a spell. If I want to take pictures, I would try to fit in or, at least, look like I do.
But you could also say that I was a little cynical about human intelligence altogether. ;-/
