Wowsers, you drowned a 1d?? Given that those things are as weatherproof as Canon make, I'm slightly worried about bringing my less weather proofed camera now!
Well, most of it was my fault. I didn't have any raincover with me (which I usually do), since I didn't expect this amount of rain. The 1D has its limits too, and when I felt I was getting soaked completely I knew the camera would follow at some point. I just couldn't stop shooting, first real assignment after my leg-accident, so had to deliver good pictures (which came out pretty well afterwards). The gear took (another) beating but ultimately survived, although it took untill Sunday afternoon being able to use the big 300 again ... condens between the glass elements. Apparently I wasn't the only one with that problem, spoke to a few other photogs who had the same issues.
New batteries were ordered today, now thinking about getting an extra camera (1Dx, 7D, 5DIII) and watching the used market for an extra tele (really into the 500 right now).
Bumped on to Barry on Sunday, last time he saw me was in an ambulance ... good to be back my feet again
.
Few more teasers, lots more to come (including Sebring)
