A cousin of ours just got married. I was ecstatic to get the opportunity to use the law of reciprocity on difficult lighting conditions and just have fun snapping pictures. As a guest there is no pressure and the chance to have an abundance of fun. However, the day we are leaving I drop my camera and bust not only my favorite lens but also my camera!!! I have no backup and the camera needs to be sent away for repair. Needless to say, I rush out and purchase a new camera and lens the day of the wedding. Turns out my youngest daughter is a disasterous ball of crankiness and won't let me put her down without crying. To prevent her from screaming during the wedding I hold her on one hip and snap images. Turns out I didn't have as much time or fun capturing images of the wedding with my daughter attached to me. However, I captured a few images that I really enjoy.
Here is to our cousin Mandy and her husband Robert.
I have learned from all of this that my camera is not safe even if it is securely zipped away in a camera bag and that a camera can be easily adjusted to. I enjoy the images that I have captured with only a single thirty minutes to learn how to operate it. Now if only there was a manual to prevent the extreme crankiness of my daughter for a short period of time!!
