When Everythings Made to be Broken.........
I planned to capture the Sun rising over the Sea, but I settled for clouds and crepsular rays. Just as I was taking this shot I stood in dog crap, using a 250mm lens. I changed back to my 17-85mm and in the process left a heap of sand or dust get into the censor. I guess it wasn't my morning, so I decided to have a cigarette and enjoy the walk home, but of course my lighter broke!
I regularly clean my camera with a blower to remove dust specs, but the sand will not budge, so I got my scrapers and censor lubricant and attempted to remove the dust. As I was doing this I dropped my 17-85mm lens on the ground and now the zoom will not open. I botched the clean up operation and smudged the mirror or censor and now I have a dust and smudge view when shooting. So this will be my last image for awhile.
And as I write this my iPod has just stopped working properly!
