I had similar (but opposite) problems when my old Canon film camera was dieing. At least with digital you should get some idea that things are going wrong: I had rolls of film of extremely important ladybird pictures (so I say  ) which were all seriously under-exposed that year. Unfortunately couldn't afford to go back to Catalunya to repeat them Quote:

In July I spent the day at Badbury Rings, a good chalk grassland site, and I took over 400 photos only to come home and find them looking like this! 
So I effectively lost the only shots I've managed of a Ringlet, as well as shots of Chalkhill Blues, Common Blues, Brown Argus, Dark Green Fritillaries, Essex Skippers and many others. I was so annoyed with myself for not checking through my shots while I was there, because then I might've been able to do something about it. I decided to return the day after to try and get a few more shots, but of course nothing posed as nicely as it had done the day before

Sitting on a beach with a wide angle zoom on the camera when less than ten yards away these otters ran down onto the beach - no cahnce to change the lens or shutter speed so rather than an award winning photo (we all need dreams) a blurred shot of four otters! Still I least I was there.

Here's one I took this afternoon. I suppose it comes into the category of hard luck. I snapped the Robin who looks after me when I'm in the garden. Look how the blurred branch in the background follows the line of his back. Probably only an average photo without it, but useless as it is!
