How many of you have ever left your lens cap on the camera and missed an important shot? (I’m guilty.)
The photographer in the above video had the misfortune of making that mistake in front of TV cameras for the whole world to see. I hope he still got a keeper or two after he figured out the malfunction.

Would love to have seen the video-but in the UK it is blocked by the Olympic authorities because “it breaches copyright” !
looks like its blocked everywhere.
It is on you tube,I fell about laughing.He does not even look at the lens to see if the cap is still on!
Here’s the link–
Thanks Kevin. I used your link to update the embed.
I feel worse for him that he is stuck at that location. Embarrassing that he got busted, but I don’t think that would be a money shot.
Nooooo
they are obscured the video!
Well everyone has a moment where they make a silly mistake like that. Too bad this guys had his moment in front of the world. Hopefully He is able to laugh about it after the fact. Also thanks Kevin for the link to a working copy of the video.
There’s one of the reasons why I don’t use lens caps!
:D
