Tracks and Trails
Now that I'm done posting my photos from Alberta, I'm going back to where I left off. I shot this timelapse back in April, 2015. I set up my camera near the tracks, somewhat hidden by a large metal box on a cement pad. I figured the camera would be safe there since the box had made it this far without any signs of train related damage. I was wrong. I came back to find my camera on the ground, and part of the lens separated from the camera, and the other part still locked onto the body. It looked like someone grabbed the camera in one hand, the lens in the other and pulled it clean off the camera. I didn't see any signs of damage from the camera falling over or getting hit by something. Strange!
The camera seemed to be dead, but a few days later I managed to get it working.
I bought a new camera a few months later, and it's nice to have this one still as a back up, I used it the other day because the new one is in the shop for repairs. I think I need to find some kind of protective case for my new camera, because as careful as I try to be, it's only a matter of time before I slip up, and another camera cracks. Any suggestions?
