APOLLO 12 Camera Failure

It's taking a long long time to get through the Eden Festival photographs.  One reason is that I just haven't had a minute to do it, the main reason is one of several catastrophic design flaws in the camera I used which has meant that I've effectively lost about half of my pictures, so rather than being interesting as it usually is, the post-production process is actually depressing.  I didn't use my own camera for the festival, it has only just been repaired, instead I borrowed one.  The least interesting thing a photographer can do is talk about camera equipment my apologies, but I do want to say that a newly released camera body that costs £2500 should not repeatedly do what it did to me when I put it to the test last weekend.  I'll also say that one of the lenses I used is just awful in pretty much every way, and as a professional lens at £750 that's the last thing it should be.

Coming home with what should be gold and finding dirt- is a horrible feeling especially after such a great festival.
