super duh.

super duh. by look here photography.
Demi's session started out very interesting.
i was chatting along with Demi and her mom while pulling out my camera equipment...
and i DROPPED MY LENS. yeah. hard. on the hard-wood floor.
i watched what seemed like slow motion as the lens smashed to the floor and glass went flying.
i almost got sick to my stomach. :o(
BUT. the session must go on, so I grabbed the lens, cleaned up the glass and put it away.
I couldn't even look at the lens at the time, I was so upset.

So we had an amazing session together. Lots of fun. :o)
Demi just wanted to get a few photos to choose from for the yearbook quick and we are going to hold a longer session this spring/summer when the weather warms up.

So we finished the session and I called Robbie.
"You aren't going to believe this, but I dropped and shattered a lens."
I came home and started uploading the photos from the session to our computer.
Robbie came home shortly after me and teased me about the lens dropping situation.
At that time, I still had not pulled the lens out to examine the damage.
So Robbie pulled the lens out and he started laughing.
The lens didn't break....
the filter we had on the lens broke.
The lens was perfectly fine. :o)
too close....

holy smokes! that really reinforces my need to put a filter on every lens before I even use it. it's been a "thing" of mine that I know a lot of people poo-poo, but here's the proof that it's worth it!

S-C-A-R-Y!!!! Yeah, I don't think a good lens is supposed to shatter if you drop it a few times. Those filter's are great, though, aren't they? They protect against all kinds of stuff!
