I was going to print the photograph of a hideous ghost I took this past weekend at The Old Rectory, but unfortunately it didn't come out (meaning the photograph didn't come out, not the ghost; that came out from behind an ancient tombstone engraved with a buck-toothed skull wearing this really weird winged headset type thing). Anyway, the terrifying apparition appeared in the form of a monstrous fiery eyeball looming towards me in the darkness. Unfortunately my wife Hilda had forgotten to disengage the "red eye reduction" feature on our camera, which apparently works really, really well. And so, to cut a long ghost story short, you obviously can't see anything in the picture.
We had the same experience last year when I tried to photograph my spine-chilling encounter with the Headless Horseman. If these camera manufacturers are going to equip their products with a worthless "Face Finder"function, then I wish they'd also provide the consumer with detailed instructions on how to turn the bloody thing off. There we were, cowering beneath the hooves of the Headless Horseman's demonic steed, and all I've got to show for it is a close-up shot straight up Hilda's nostrils. Damn this new-fangled technology.
