    I agree

    I agree with that. The problem was that my lcd was broken so I had no idea of what I was shooting. I would have changed a number of issues in the shot. I guess that is what shooting film is like. Ahh.. the good old days!

    Thanks for the votes.

    a sad stupid story

    I found a great way to break everything you shoot with...

    It goes like this, I was taking my daughter out for her 9th birthday. I had a new toy to play with, an egg 360 attached to my 2.8 20mm on my d90. So we get to the Port Discovery in Baltimore. I get out of the van and am prepping the kids to departure. I then open my front door...... and prep my bag to add some snacks for the childrens. I then pick up the bag.....without closing the photo section and everything I own hits the concrete from about 4 feet in the air.

    I am such a dumb sh!t. To my own accord, I do feel proud in that the first and only thing I yelled was CRAP! I then internalized and went about picking up the pieces....literarily. The 20 and the egg 360 were attached to the d90, the 20 is toast. My 18-200 hit hard and shattered the UV filter. I haven't had the desire to test it yet. My new 2.8 105 seems to have come out with only a scratch. My 10.5 I think also survived. My rather new d90 fires up but the lcd on the back is toast, 2 cracks and nasty blackness mixed with intermittent flashes on the bottom. The SB800 tossed its batteries and may also be functional. I will have to revert to my trusty Fuji S3 Pro for a while.

    One lesson I take from this is that I have to never do that again. But also, I need to have individual protective bags for each lens as well as a better bag that fastens down the camera itself. I'm looking for suggestions on that front as well.

    Once I get my kids to bed, I shall seek solace in a bottle and maybe a friend...


    SH!T!

    Wow, that's a really unlucky day. Stuff like that happens though. Really bad luck.

    I have had the automotive version of that. August Friday the 13th, my dad's Civic Si hatch was stolen, 2007 or 2006, I forgot, right in front of our own house. It was supposed to be the car I would learn manual in.

    I never believed in Friday the 13th until then.
