  • Huge mistake

    I was about to head off to MAN today to send a couple of hours with the camera in the late afternoon sunshine. But guess what, the clouds arrived so I thought I would spend my time having a look at the latest uploads on JPnet and entertaining my 12 week old son instead. Next thing I know is that I hear a crash out side on the patio, then my wife arrived by my side with a glum expression with my Camera and Sigma 100-300mm in bits. I had been cleaning the camera earlier and had left it outside as we sometimes get and Easy Jet, Ryanair or Britannia flying over on the way into Liverpool and my camera is never at the ready when I need it so today I thought would be different…. Huge mistake.

    So please be aware that wives and your camera do not mix … however on the bright side I do feel an insurance claim coming on and maybe a new camera.!!!

                Regardless, you don't want to do that too much. The case might retain structural integrity but the electronics might become jostled.

                    Watch out, cher Clovis! If you this too much, the horizon will be tilted sooner or later
