Did you know they make these nifty little lens cap bungie attachments? I do. Because I’ve been gifted (and broken them) before.
It happened. Again. The lens cap took a cliff dive without it’s swimmies. Please…a moment of silence, if you would. May you live on forever in the lens cap afterlife, where cameras and their caps thrive in dry, dust free enviroments.
On the plus side, I did get to swim under a waterfall (if you haven’t done it, add it to your bucket list!) and…well… I got this photo. 🙂
Great Lens Cap Tragedy of 2013
When I was sorting shots to edit (and there were a fair amount. Hope y’all like waterfall photos. haha), I took one look at this and knew exactly how I wanted to edit it. It felt like I wanted it to have that peaceful, mystical forest feel. Strangely, the vertical of this same waterfall series screamed monochrome, with deep shadows and mood (blog post to come. Gotta milk this shoot as long as possible! lol).
Isn’t it interesting how sometimes, our art takes us on the path it wants, regardless of our original vision?
Another cap bites the dust. I’m no stranger to that. 🙂
HAHA I suspect all photogs go through that.
So far I’ve held on to mine pretty tight. Then again, I know it’s bound to happen eventually. 🙂 Nice photograph also!
Thankfully, even when you eventually lose one, they’re cheap to replace. lol
And thanks! 🙂
Ah the lens cap tragic end… who hasn’t lost one or two… would love to see the final resting place of these lens caps just to see how many there are….
As for the photo “milk it” it looks interesting and love the water flow look, I assume a slightly slower shutter speed to get the water to look like that?? Beautiful…
Yes, definitely a slower shutter speed! f/22, 10 seconds, 100 iso.
Sorry for your loss 😦 Regarding editing its definitly true, after a while editing becomes obvious !
I’m actually sitting down to type out the mono version of the image for the next blog post now. 🙂
RIP all lenscaps of the world…
Thanks for visiting and commenting! 😉
haha Pay those lenscaps the respect they deserve!
You’re very welcome. I love supporting fellow photogs and bloggers. 🙂
Lately I’ve been more careful…and no using that camera as often…or any camera! But you have an awards nomination to consider, at: http://bythemightymumford.wordpress.com/2013/08/02/the-award-trio/. 🙂

NICELY CAUGHT WATER ACTION…AND HER LENS CAP???????
I have a number of Nikon lens caps scattered throughout the Lake District. I got so fed up with it that all my lenses now have those lens caps with an attachment. Nice photo, btw.
haha So realistically, if anyone needs a new cap, they can skip the photo store and go to the Lakes District “shopping” 😉
Also, Thanks!!
