Foto Fail 2 - Thanks for the Memory [by Cartoonwolf]
The weather was perfect for a day of photography at the nearby botanical garden and nature center. Bucky was so excited for the shots he was getting that he failed to notice the tiny “memory card” warning in the viewfinder. Dozens of photos and nearly an hour later, realization hit when he activated the camera’s main viewscreen.

Once again,
tigerknight has done a fabulous job of poking good-natured fun at my bear. He took a simple concept that I provided and turned it into an epic tragedy. The background is beautiful and lush. Jan also paid special attention to accurately detailing Bucky’s camera and backpack. Those details would be lost on a casual viewer, but they do mean a lot to me.
Please fave the original here https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52656273/ and treat yourself to the other gems in Jan’s gallery while you are there. You’ll find more of Jan’s art, including books and calendars, at his personal web site here https://www.tigerknight.com/

I can relate, but my incident was in the early 1990s with a 35mm SLR. Was trying out some Kodak film stock that well was very slippery and stiff - Ektar if I remember. Loaded camera and went to an inter tribal pow wow. Thought I was taking some great photos of the dancers then noticed I hadn't run to the end of the roll. Counter showed just past 35 shots taken but no resistance you would normally feel at the end of a roll. Dang leader had slipped and no images taken. There was one dancer in particular I wanted pics of. Ended up getting some good ones of him at a later event in the region

Lesson learned - make sure film is advancing properly.

That damn new film stock was a pain to work with. I wasn't the only one complaining about it not acting like normal Kodak or Fuji or Ilford. Was movie film stock with excellent color and grain but very very stiff. I worked at a photo developing lab and we saw a lot of rolls turned in that well, folks rewound and thought they'd got pics but nothing was on the roll. Big lab - regional one for Eckard's drug store chain - in the Dallas Tx area. we covered half the state and part of Oklahoma. I learned you really had to waste a few images by advancing film with the back open till you were sure it was on the roller.
I've never experienced the "memory card" mishap, but I feel poor Bucky's pain all the same. We've all felt the disappointment that comes with taking a photo that didn't turn out and can never be recaptured.
Seeing the effort and the convolutions that Bucky went through to get these shots makes the outcome all the more amusingly painful; honestly, the things we do to get a good picture!

I've had the fun of also running out of memory with the digital cameras I've had over the last couple of decades. Starting with Sony Mavicas that recorded onto 1.44mp Floppy Disk, one of the CD Mavicas that uses 80mm cdr and cdrw disks - still works and finally a 12 mp Canon Rebel - pawn shop purchase about 4 years ago and going strong and finally my cell phone. Most of my critter photos from work are taken with it. I have to download the photos from time to time - I tend to fill it up.
The easy answer is: It depends.
There are a few factors to take into account: picture resolution, file format, and card capacity.
Now for a concrete example:
I shoot 24 megapixel images on my camera in extra fine JPEG format (other options are lower quality JPEG, RAW, or RAW + JPEG). My images average around 11MB each. So on a 64GB card (we'll be conservative and say 62GB is usable) I can store in excess of 5600 photos.

I had this happen on my first fursuit outing! Luckily, we had phones and tablets with us too so we managed with low-res photos instead. :P
Back in the 80s at my parents' wedding the photographer took a whole film worth of photos only to discover he hadn't actually put the film in the camera!

Very similar to the scenario that Hovard described above. In his case the film was in the camera, but the leader hadn't caught on the take-up spool. This wasn't hard to do at all with some film cameras. If yours had a manual winder, you might notice the lack of tension as you tried to advance the frame. But with the advent of motorized winders, you might not realize anything was amiss. That is, until you notice that your camera is telling you that you are on frame 40-something of what you were sure was a roll of 36 exposures.
LOL! I usually set my Canon model to not snap photos without an SD Card, but I will enable "Snap without lens attached" in case I wanted to try some special effect or a vintage lens.
I always liked how Jan's art is always so lively despite having as few lines as possible! The second panel reflects some difficult shots I had over the edge of railings, and to be careful I don't get dragged over the edge.
I also love how the last panel has the elusive subjects come near at the time the camera ain't working. But...the phone works as a backup! :D
