On Friday lunchtime I took my gear out for hike on a trail to the west of Thompson Rivers University where I work. I went to a gully where I saw some birds about 3 weeks ago in the hopes of getting a chance at a waxwing. As I walked along the edge of the gully, up jumped a mother deer and her fawn. - pictures to follow. That was the good luck.
On the way back my foot rolled off the edge of the trail and I went down with a badly spained ankle. I'm on crutches for a week and then an air cast for 2 - 3 weeks.
Arrrgh :!:
When I fell, my camera with the 300f/4 and 1.7TC hit the ground pretty hard, but everything seems OK although I did end up with a couple minor scratches on the equipment, one on the camera body and one on the lens hood.
These were all taken handheld (my ball head is in for repair) with the 300f/4 +1.7TC. Being lunchhour, the lighting was pretty harsh.
