I looked for a cap to protect the protuding lens. i tried plastic lenscaps for cameras, but they slip off too easiliy. I found that coincases, made to store collectible coins, are the best, because they are cheap and come in various sizes (in 0,5mm steps). The ektra needs 40,5mm.
The lenscap is slightly over 5cm diameter. This isn't drifted snow either, it's on the top of an exposed wall.
Subject. Through the lens you can see a Canon lens cap. It's set on the thirds line and everything else around the lens is blurred.
I've just realised I've had my D70 for four years last month and despite it me producing some rubbish photos for my Photo a Day today (hence the use of this one), I still love it.
I'm also quite excited, I should have the chance to play with some camera toys when I'm on holiday in Norfolk in a couple of weeks time. Yipppeee!
The pink colouring in this was quite pale on my laptop screen at home - at work it's really, really deeply PINK. Apologies if I put anyone off their lunch. I need to calibrate my monitors/screens I think!
Before dropping the just-removed lens (on the right) in the bag, the photographer bayonets it into the back-to-back cap that is still on the replacement lens (on the left). The picture above shows both lenses together. The replacement lens (left) is then unbayoneted and coupled to the body. The original lens (right) can then be safely dropped into the bag, its front element protected by its lens hood and its sensitive, delicate rear electronics protected by the back-to-back rear cap.

Ah, the home studio: add one apartment building hallway wall, one mini-ironing board (from Target, natch), and a dash of morning light from the west, and you get this.
I was working on taking notes about my photos as I was taking them and happened to like the way my lens cap rested on my pencil, both on my notebook, and the light at the time... anyway, this is the photo that resulted.

A digital Pinhole image.
An exposure of 1 minute. René was moving every 15 seconds in a different position.
This is from yesterday. I was so excited to see a huge flock of Canadian Geese swim past the cottage, I dropped my lens cap in the lake.
I am forever losing my lens caps. I've been known to find them five minutes after placing an order for a new one online. Today I drilled a tiny hole in the cap and tied a lanyard to the strap ring on the camera body.
So there!

A LensCap Rally at the Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria. The LensCap Rally is a day out with a Professional Photographer. There are set tasks and afterwards you can upload your photos to the site and have everyone comment on them. Its a great way to get out for the day, shoot loads of pics at interesting locations and meet other photo-mad people.
This kid can already walk and work a blackberry, I kid you not! Here he is, stealing my phone and lens cap. I've got it on video too and will post it eventually, once I figure out how to edit it...
This is quite uninteresting to me, but it's for my Film Production class with the theme Shape. I'll be out tonight for another round of night shots.

Man, I rememebered a time when wrapping up a shoot meant making sure I've got all my lenscaps.
(And this is just the rental gear...)
This was by far the biggest shoot I've done, both in terms of production value (aka cost inccured out of pocket) and objectives / shots I wanted to get. More importantly, it tests how ready I am to ship myself accross country to do a photoshoot - something I have to do in November when I shoot my childhood friend's wedding. At least I know where I can rent lights in Europe and in LA / SD now :-)
