After I was done taking these shots, I had my camera on the tripod, I set it down on the pavement for some reason, and I heard a bad sound. A sound of metal connecting with pavement from about a height of 3 feet. My tripod tipped over (one leg was not fully extended, yea…Im fucktarded sometimes :retardclap ), my Canon 24-70 f/2.8L lens ($1200+ new) was now sucking face with the pavement. Fuck. The lens only zooms between 35mm and 70mm now without the aid of pulling on it. ☹ All I can think of is that it was some type of suicide attempt by my camera, or self punishment for subjecting it to something it didnt want to see. I’ll let you guys decide… 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4119/4892676433_b1fa839655_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4119/4892676433_b1fa839655_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4122/4892676333_853f266499_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4122/4892676333_853f266499_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4138/4892676241_63070e1012_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4138/4892676241_63070e1012_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4099/4893273222_a7229c0a60_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4099/4893273222_a7229c0a60_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4102/4893273168_a9ba112548_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4102/4893273168_a9ba112548_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4134/4892675999_6b95c9b25c_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4134/4892675999_6b95c9b25c_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4140/4892675943_42715e9f66_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4140/4892675943_42715e9f66_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4135/4893272974_ae3b67ec7b_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4135/4893272974_ae3b67ec7b_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4077/4892675813_9df68cbd57_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4077/4892675813_9df68cbd57_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4075/4892675745_dc95d790c1_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4075/4892675745_dc95d790c1_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4138/4892675681_c133f59b83_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4138/4892675681_c133f59b83_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4094/4892675619_bd738dd030_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4094/4892675619_bd738dd030_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4079/4893272626_e4f49bdce1_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4079/4893272626_e4f49bdce1_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4114/4893272562_5a8ec2172a_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4114/4893272562_5a8ec2172a_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4081/4893272522_5c7b7e8442_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4081/4893272522_5c7b7e8442_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4102/4892675407_e631a05b6a_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4102/4892675407_e631a05b6a_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4097/4892675347_bcd23f7e3e_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4097/4892675347_bcd23f7e3e_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4097/4893272392_3abca3c6a2_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4097/4893272392_3abca3c6a2_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4141/4893272356_669092145d_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4141/4893272356_669092145d_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4141/4893272308_1ed2efe910_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4141/4893272308_1ed2efe910_b.jpg) 1. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4074/4892675139_e4dd51c3a3_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4074/4892675139_e4dd51c3a3_b.jpg) ---

Shot #13 should have been a bit more careful as you got both trucks in one shot. =) Edit: Among many other shots, but it’s hard to do when the paint and chrome as so damn reflective. The marcro shots of the paint are the best in the set. One they make you forget about the rest of the truck. Two it is actually a pretty nice job on the paint. ---
