Digital Photo Tips

This is my Nikon D40 with the flash gun SB600.

I hardly use the kit lens but lucky that I decided to change it to the kit lens today. Normally, I use the 18-200 mm VR lens or the micro lens. I went to lunch and I was sitting with my back against the wall. So, I hang the camera in the 2 Million Crumpler bag on my chair. No one is suppose to be passing behind me because it is a wall, remember? Moreover, there is a groove and I don’t expect the bag to slip down.

This is a photo of the D40 with the expensive VR lens that can hardly fit into the Crumpler. Like I said, today, I use only the kit lens which is much smaller. Meaning when I close the bag, it is well protected.

And you know what happened? One waiter actually squeezed behind my chair, knock down the bag and my precious camera fall onto the floor! KNN!

Lucky the Crumpler layers are protective enough and lucky it was just a cheap kit lens. Otherwise, I will sue the restaurant.

Conclusion - You cannot leave your camera on the table because you are afraid of your kids pouring water or soup on it. You cannot leave it on the floor because someone may step on it. You cannot hang it because dumb waiters chose to knock it down. Solution? Hug the camera and don’t eat.

Thanks to Crumpler and thanks to the giver. Eh, I need a bigger bag, how?
