Woo hoo! So what's so exciting about more daisy photos? The fact that I was able to take them this weekend because...
I.Knocked.Over.My.Camera. With my 70-180 macro lens on it. Some of the sweetest glass ever there was (which they don't make anymore) and it went over like a tipped cow. Lens first. Can you say heart attack?
It happened last week - I had my camera on my tripod and I had just set a tray with the rose's petals on a chair. Spike came snooping over so I picked it up and turned around and the tray hit my camera! I said a little prayer that just the tripod went over and somehow, magically, my camera was floating in mid air. But no. It was on the floor.
I dropped the tray and picked up my camera and started checking it out. The lens wasn't cracked. Whew. Everything was fine and functioning!!! The photo gods were smiling on me. :) I gave it an intense workout on Saturday and some on Sunday and it's all good. Woo!
D200...a lot of money, 70-180 macro lens...a lot of money, both still working...priceless. :)
