So I drove 3 hours yesterday to hike to a fire tower I’ve been meaning to visit. It was a gorgeous evening for a hike.
About 3/4 of a mile into the hike I came to the first view over the lake below, so I pulled my camera and tripod out of the bag and took this photo:
I then continued hiking up the mountain, now with the camera and tripod over my shoulder. Shortly thereafter, I slipped and fell. My D500 and sigma 17-50 landed hard on the bedrock of the mountain. During the impact my camera created this wonderful piece of modern art:
These would be the last two photos ever taken by that lens, because this also happened during the impact:
Luckily the D500 was fine, and I also brought my 11-16 and was able to finish the hike and take these photos:
Overall an unfortunate series of events, but I still had an incredible day trip and I’m glad I went regardless of losing the lens.
