...and my computer....

(OK, thanks for working for me for a long time!)

The same weekend I lost my lens to NYC and my contact lens, now what, my computer's gone.

A Virus Attack. I'been noticing that some message windows pop up too often saying that "..application not found..." "...couldn't find inCD something..." but working just fine. But this saturday, even the popup blocker is on, suddenly lots and lots of Popup ads came up, and (this is the worst) Voice-Ads started. Just the voice saying this and that, no windows so I can't close, I can't get rid of the voices....and the next day, these things escalated in a light speed, like, a hundred of Ad-windows at the same time on the screen and crazy voices...... so I had to disconnect the internet. I should do that much earlier......it was too late.....

My 3rd loss......why everything at once? Oh, and the TV is broken. Not showing anything on the screen suddenly. Might be the age, but why now???

My lens gone again and my contact lens....

5/20/09 I went back to Long Key Nature Center with my friend again, and took a lot of photos of these birds. Later that day, I checked them with my computer and found a shocking fact.....yes, actually, after my 300mm lens came back from the repair, I haven't taken a lot of photos until this day but I've been thinking, hummmm..I am taking a lot of blury photos recently....but it wasn't my fault! All (over 100) photos taken with 300mm lens this day, were not sharp, I couldn't notice in the camera's small LCD, but all blury in a strange way. Then I finally came to conclusion, the shocking fact, that AUTO FOCUS is not working!!!
I called Sigma and sent the lens back to NYC for repair again, but what about my time - 3 hours? and my pics - close to 200? all wasted! Not fair!!
A few pics survived.....this is a Cattle Egret Mom with her baby....

5/22/09 After the bird shooting at Long Key on 5/20, I stopped by at Flamingo Garden, too, and found a lot of nice flowers but the pics weren't good. So I went back to the Garden again.
It was a rainy day....I was in a rain jacket, holding umbrella and tripod....so keep the camera up to take pics were very hard job!! I don't usually feel it, but the camera's so heavy!
I love rain drops so it was very interesting shooting, I got soaked wet through my jacket, my jeans also wet to keep my camera safe!
Adding to the loss of my 300mm lens to repair, I lost my right contact lens this day....
onto the dirt of the foot of my object...a beautiful flower I was shooting with Macro lens.....
I couldn't find it, I came home with one eye.....almost....with lots of rain pics....anyway.
