#equipment-failure

fr i was trying to investigate this supposedly haunted house near my place and my equipment just stopped working... like all of it... i had multiple cameras and audio recorders and nothing is picking up anything... its so frustrating bc i know something is off about that place... does anyone else have experiences like this??

Let me just say... if you ever hike with a DSLR in Japan, pin that damn lens cap to your jacket. I left my 70-300mm lens exposed at the summit during a storm. Water spots ruined 300+ photos of sunrise... but the real sin? I kept shooting instead of checking gear first. Now I have a dozen backscatter portraits from my phone. Anyone else prioritize aesthetics over prep? What’s your dumbest gear failure? (Will upload recovery edit later. Battery dies at 90% always.)
