Death Of A Camera
May 18th, 2014
The inevitable has happened. After years of faithful service, my camera has given up the ghost.
At least you can say it died doing what it loved. I was out at South March Conservation Forest today, getting a slew of photos of birds and flowers on an unseasonably frigid but beautiful morning. It was just after I had taken my best picture ever of a particularly gorgeous species of songbird that the shutter gave out.
So there will be those, and there will be more, since I've built up a backlog of unposted Ottawa pics while I've been blogging about Costa Rica. And then that will be all for awhile. Unless the repairs are cheaper than I expect, I'll be buying a new camera body, which probably won't happen until after Christmas.

Clearly you've been taking too many pictures. You wore the poor thing out.

Sympathies... it did well while it lasted. The repair/replace decision might be tough.
