Three laws of the darkroom:
1. The best shots will be lost because you left the lens cap on.
2. The other best shots will be lost because you forgot to put film in the camera.
3. Any remaining best shots will be lost when someone opens the darkroom door and lets all the dark leak out.
Of course all this has been superceded by digital cameras, which make everything much simpler. This leads to a new set of rules which I made up just now.
1. The best shots will be lost because you forgot to put new batteries in.
2. The other best shots will be lost because the automatic adjustments don't.
3. Any remaining best shots will be lost because sometimes the stupid thing just doesn't work.
