It's one of those occasions that can't be missed and need to be captured in pictures! I thought about the venue and available lighting and decided on fast prime lenses to be the optimum set-up. Brought along a couple of Speedlites, just in case. I was all set to shoot my daughter Mariel's promotion ceremony. Or so I thought.

| The gear I planned on using. |
Positioned myself in the corner of the auditorium where I could get an unobstructed view to the stage. As I turn on the camera to take a test shot, BAM!!! It hits me, "NO CF CARD"!!! I had forgotten to take out the memory card from my desktop computer!
 |
| Oh, NOOOOOO!!!! I forgot the CF card at home! |
Thanks to my daughter's LUMIX FH25 point-&-shoot camera, I was able to capture those precious moments as she walked on stage to receive her promotion certificate.

| A nifty & capable performer it is indeed! |

| Shaking hands with the School Principal, Dr. Joseph Waters. |
 |
| And now with PA State Representative, Hon. Tom Murt. |
 |
| Receiving her Promotions Packet. |
And I learned a simple yet important lesson that day. Always keep a spare memory card in the bag!
