Today I was reminded of just why I bring my own camera with me wherever I go.
I participate in a "photo a day" project (or P.366 as we call it) with a group of friends. The idea is to, well, take a photo a day. Everyday. For the entire year. Doesn't seem like such a hard task. But when you neglect to bring your camera with you and a good photo opportunity comes up, you end up using the closest camera to you. But unfortunately, I didn't check all the settings before using it to ensure I was using my preferred image output. Rookie mistake.
I didn't lose the image or get a bad quality photo, but the image was saved as a standard JPEG format instead of RAW - a format that allows for much better post production work. I still got a great image, but the nit-picky side of me will always twitch a little whenever I look at that photo. Lesson learned.
