It cost me a considerable chunk of cash to have my Canon 5D MK II and a couple of lenses repaired.

My gear has been kind of wonky for a while now, but I’ve always worked around it and never paid it much attention.

I took part in a workshop back in November and even though at the time, I really thought it was me, my camera was having some real difficulty in locking focus and exposure.

While the other participants were just snapping away, I was struggling to capture one shot for every three or four of theirs.

I still managed to rack up some three hundred images (many of which I actually think came out well).

“It’s not the arrow, it’s the Indian.”

That’s a favorite quote of mine.

In this case, this one time, it kind of was the arrow.
