....On the second morning of my trip I was on my way back to the car, Bigma and K10D over my left shoulder, K100D and 16-45 around my neck and the tripod in my right hand. I was coming of a grassy area unto the gravel path and the next thing I knew I was on my way down, face first and I knew that this was not going to be good. One of my feet had gotten hooked behind a hidden root and that was that.
After I cleaned and disinfected severe abrasions on my left forearm and my forehead, picked the gravel out from under my nails of my right hand, got all the bleeding stopped, sat down and had a bottle of water I looked at the camera and lenses. To tell the truth, they looked a mess. Now, there area few things that I always have in the car, a substantial first aid kit and cleaning material.
So I set to work and started cleaning, both lenses Bigma and the 16-45 seemed to take the brute of the fall on the lens hoods, they were pretty scratched up. The K10D also has a few scratches on the rear corner by the serial #.
After everything was reasonable clean I took a few test shots and low and behold everything seemed to be working fine. Later that night in the hotel I did a few focus checks and it it seemed to be OK. So the next morning I drove down to Whitewater Lake (in Manitoba) and here are some of the results:
Ah, what a fine morning,
Let's have a drink
Oh, but that was good
Now for a bit of body maintenance
That's when the bird noticed me
One last parting shot
All with K10D and Bigma, handheld.
So, as you can see everything works fine. Looking in the mirror, the two bumps on my forehead aren't really all that bad, most of the wrinkles are gone. LOL
Please let me know how color and contrast looks, this laptop is not calibrated and I have never liked it anyway.
comments are always welcome
