5/365 - trigger finger

This was shot with my 'nifty 50'.

 

I knocked my camera off a table yesterday with my 50mm lens on it, just managing to break its fall about a foot from the ground with my finger tips. It hit pretty thick carpet but the lens still broke, the barrel bit that moves when you focus popping out of the rest of it. I spent a frantic and nervous 40mins working out how it fitted back together and getting it working again!

 

Would have been the cheapest piece of hardware I have to break, but it would still have been super annoying. Especially now after just starting my 365.

 

Not quite sure how I'm going to manage the weekend, I've got a stag's doo and I'll be away for 2 nights.

 

It feels much easier and safer to take shots like these where I'm only have in the picture, and not the focus of attention, than traditional self portraits of me. I don't feel up to tackling myself, I think my shot like that so far is the worst I've taken in my 365. It will have to happen at some point thou...
