Today's Photography Lesson: (PICS)
Today's lesson is "How to lose $5,500.00 worth of camera gear."
A step by step guide.....
Decide you want to shoot a waterfall you've never shot before.
Drive out into the boonies, park your car, and pack your gear into the mountains.
Find a nifty waterfall and proceed to set up. Keep your hat on because it's raining but take your jacket off since you are about to go into waist deep water that will freeze your balls off. Should you get swept down stream, you will be able to swim better without said jacket.
Get the camera all dialed in with the settings you want, set the polarizer filter to the desired effect......
Then stand back and stare at your gear while you try to remember where in the hell you put your cable release. Now, you could say "fuck it" and just put the camera on timer mode instead but your frozen balls are steadily creeping higher up while shrinking in size so you aren't exactly thinking clearly nor do you want to wait for the timer as your nads inch closer and closer towards cryogenics.
Now recall that you left your cable release in the very jacket pocket that you so wisely chose to leave on the creek bank. So you venture back over to retrieve it.....And as you leave your gear, the current almost takes you downstream....
Now pay attention because this is the final step......
As you head back towards the middle of the creek, watch in agony as your worst fear of the day comes to realization and your tripod slips off the rocks under the water and the rest of your shit goes with it.
Then thank your friend for taking the pics of your experience, hike the fuck back out of the mountains, change into the dry clothes you were smart enough to bring along, and drive to home for the day.
