So what kind of an idiot leaves their camera out in the rain?
After almost exactly 3 years as my constant companion, my Canon Powershot SX30IS has, I fear, turned gimpy due to, well, unexplicable stupidity that I can’t begin to explic, and needs to be retired. Not happy.
July 4th marked 3 years since I returned to Canada from the Philippines. I remember that time so well. The day after I got here I went off to get this camera (The Eagle Has Landed) and it’s been with me recording my tales and explorations of this Left Coast and parts beyond ever since. After this unfortunate “accident” I took the camera into our forest to put it through its paces to see what damage had been done. I took a number of shots and then, mindful of the admonishments to always look behind you to see what the opposite view is, I happened to look up to find an entirely different view of this beloved forest. I spent a good half hour lying on my back on one of the benches, looking, seeing, watching the tops of the gigantic Doug Firs and Cedars sway in the wind and taking pictures, providing I’m sure, a different view for the few passersby as well.
