Smashed Filter
On a shoot for Bolandi Classics my camera dropped, lens first, about a foot. As a collective gasp ran through the crew I characteristically wasn’t that worried. I’d dropped cameras before. Nikon cameras are sturdy pieces of equipment, (D80). I picked up the camera examined it, and seeing nothing wrong, continue shooting. When the shoot was over the model, Samy Osman, grabs the camera and starts shooting random things. At one point he aims the camera at me and I see that the fall did indeed do damage. Series damage to the protective filter. It was smashed! So smashed in fact that I couldn’t get it of the lens with out a pair of pliers. Amazingly, none of the picture I had taken after the fall showed any sign of the smashing. You can see at the link below for yourself that no damage is visible. The next day I went straight out and bought a brand new filter!!!

Reminds me of my CPL that I bought. It only lasted for 2 weeks before my camera bag slipped from my shoulders and went thud at the Hong Kong Airport Terminal. sigh. Nice shot though.
