One of my last pictures before my tripod and camera slowly tipped over into a pond :(

Moira, another great shot..
But holy crap are you kidding me, you dunked your gear??
How awefull!
I know exactly how you feel, I lost all my gear as well in the winter time. But mine involved me going into the frozen creek with it.  :roll:
You might luck out and find it can be repaired.
Best of luck with that.
It's really crappy to hear that.  :(

Thanks Meghan and Walter.  The camera survived (yeah!) and the lens is at Sun Camera now.  The damage is relatively minor in the world of camera money :(  I have a loaner from a nice friend and am back out there.  I think I will have the camera around my neck from now on, even though it's on a tripod!!

Hey Moira, nice shot.
Glad to hear the lens damage is relatively minor. Get yourself a good lawyer and sue the frog!

Thanks guys - I wish it was me that went in the pond - a quick shower and a load of laundry and it would have been done :)  Should have the lens back in a couple of days.
