Well yesterday was a cursed day for me, went to Hayti where my good camera got knocked off its tripod due to winds and knocked the lens moving mechnism off its rail, i fixed that but got nothing out of the video.
The second camera was in Estelline where I placed a camera by the downtown siren but the memory card or the camera decided to not work and cut out just as the siren started so I got....Nothing...AGAIN.
I headed home and decided to see if the 1000T was still there aannd it wasn't replaced with a SRNB I was like CURSES so I hung out trying to decide on what to hit up, well I decided to hit up the 612 by the Ramada Hotel on the West side.

I set up and it was 5 minute wait and the I set up both cameras for the typical shots and my audio recorder aaaand...CURSES both camera's STILL didn't want to work for me, I only got a audio recording of the test

So that was a cursed day for me, all that effort, all that time, all that gas for one recording? not my best day
So heres the video

Admendment

Well not all hope was lost, I found a copy on the cards B role section I guess the camera dumped everything to the back up section of the memory card and thats where I found this

Sorry to hear about it mate... we've all had our fair share of disappointments.
For example, I went to a 3T22 that was said to do a noon whistle. 5-hour round trip. (I could have just gone to Smyrna, but at the time I didn't know it existed). For one, my camera ran out of memory, and for two, nothing happened.
And, I went to a Sterling last November. It was pouring, like 20 degrees, and windy. Siren was a no-go. (I could have walked up to the station and pressed the button, but that's, like, illegal or something. :lol: )
Better luck next time. :)
