This is the “Please Fire! Are you still alive?” test shot after my camera hit the ground when I had a mishap!
It popped off the tripod, crashed to the pavement and it hit harrrrrrrrrd!
The camera seems to be fine, but the Olympus 50-200 mm Lens is toast!
Jammed, cracked, bent, broken! My main work horse and I am going to miss it.
I was surprisingly clam about it after I had the “Oh S**T” moment!
I rigged up other lenses and got the shot I was after, but still.....
It takes your breath away and all your flash bulbs pop at the same time!
