Photoshoot gone wrong...

If you have noticed on my Tuesday Toot list, one of the items was to do a photoshoot. Well today was as nice as any other day so off to my favourite little "photo park". Even though it is pretty heavily graffiti'd and there are some questionable items/people around, the lighting in this park just makes things a whole lot easier for me, especially in the early evening.

So we're walking around, taking pictures yatta yatta and I decide to swtich lenses. Earlier this year I had bought a 50mm lens from Kijiji. I don't use it much, in fact it has been sitting on my night stand for a few months now (don't ask!). So I decided to throw this little baby on and take some pictures. It was going well, I was actually liking the lens (whereas before I wasn't too fond of it). Then I got the bright idea to have Mason pose on a log. He got all settled down, I went to focus...funny the camera won't focus with him on the log. I tried a few times, nothing. Then I tried focusing on something else...nope. Then I get the bright idea to look at the lens to see if it is jammed or something and the whole front was gone!!

I have no idea how it happened. Looking back through my pictures, I see they ended when I got a picture of him trying to climb a tree (which was horribly out of focus and "faded"). It was actually a strange fading over the picture, almost like a haze. I guess I should have noticed because the last few pictures were like that too.

I mean the whole entire glass is GONE. Luckily (or maybe not so luckily) I had taken the UV filter off because I thought it was the reason for the haziness in the pictures. Ooops guessed wrong, I guess it was the lens actually falling off. I went back through the grass but couldn't find it...but I did get some pretty cute pictures!
