I dropped one of my lenses earlier this week after a long night of shooting. I got back home Tuesday morning at 2:30am after Barack Obama’s last campaign rally before the election.
I keep it in a little black pouch and I was nervous to check the condition. I shook it and nothing rattled so i figured everything was okay.
I went to the 9/11 memorial at the Pentagon last night to work on my night photography portfolio for class. I could use my 18-55mm lens just fine. But when I used the one I dropped, I couldn’t get anything in focus. I thought maybe my eyes were doing funny things and I just couldn’t focus. But when I walked around to find a better shot, I saw a big crack in the front of the lens!
Luckily it was just the UV filter that I put on the front to protect the actual lens from dirt and smudges and such. I had no idea it would protect it from BREAKING!!!
Here are some of the pictures from that night.

The first photo on this post is AMAZING!!! Are you using it for class??
Thanks! I’ll most likely use it for my class portfolio if I can get it to print well.
