Murphey’s law applies…even with the morning mail train.

:smiley: I love the ‘forgot to turn the camera off’ clip. Reminds me of my grandmother. She loved to shoot 8mm movies. We’d get them back from the processor all excited to see a travelogue of her latest trip and what we ended up with were the insides of shopping bags and fright-cam shots with the camera swinging by the wrist strap.

Nice work Ken. Very enjoyable

Yea, I've done that more than once and then setting it down to film a scene and then hitting the button and turning it off. Looking at it can make ya dizzy........;)

Well Ken, you need to do more railfanning, you’d loose that “forgot to turn off the cam” habit really quickly. :wink: :slight_smile: :wink: :lol:

Now that was a pretty impressive train wreck :slight_smile:

Very nice Ken, Murphy would be so proud!

You got a pretty hairy hand ya’ know

Ken, BRAVO!!!
I think we have all done at least one not-so-intentional video, but haven’t had the cajone’s to throw it out there.
This thread could get really entertaining if other posted theirs as well.

I had a few of those mix-ups with the record button, really annoying when you discover you missed the shot because the camera was already on, and gets shut off when you think your starting to record.

Most of you have probably already seen this, but here’s my “blooper” from last year’s trip to Ely, NV. Set the camera up for a close up shot of the train going by on the right, only to discover that the train is taking to the track to the left…

Glad no one was hurt.

Just me pride...........;)

I have a few of those train wrecks.
But then I always faced the camera away from the train.

Best stuff I’ve seen since Mothra invaded Tokyo! :slight_smile:
