Partially Failed Photography Mission, Myllysaari

in #photography5 years ago (edited)

I went down to Myllysaari this morning to see if I could get any good photos. But the battery died and I also lost my lens cap on the Nikkor 18-55 mm. Oh, well. Just bought a new one from Kärkkäinen for about €6. Some people say you don't need a lens cap because lenses are pretty hard. I'm of the opinion that you can always trip over something and have your camera land on something glass first. You could get a branch hit hard on the glass or anything like that. The glass gets dirty more easily if you never use a lens cap. Or something hard could hit your camera bag just the wrong way.

Anyway, here's a couple I did get.

What an interesting looking building!
I always use the lens cap because then the lens has less dust and greasy finger prints in it.

That's the yacht club building. Built some time in the 1910's or the 1920's. A lens cap is definitely better than no lens cap. The replacement has a strap in it but the lens has nothing to attach the strap to.

You aren't supposed to attach the strap to the lens anyway. Try attaching it to the camera, or the camera strap.

Does it have a quick clip or something?

I'll have to take a look. Attaching the strap to the camera feels a little bit awkward because I normally switch lenses on the fly multiple times during a shoot.

Yes that's true.

Wait... Is it one of these?:

I don't have the camera at hand right now. I can show it to you at the go club on Thursday.
