sacrifice by graemestevens

sacrifice

My new lens (a rather sexy 12-50mm) arrived today so after a brief team meeting the decision was made to sacrifice the dead lens to the photography gods.
Wisdom from Yoda you have learned.

Ha, die disappointing lens, die!

Oh, dear... I do own my version of this lens, so I will shed a (just one) tear for the sacrifice. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the new one and... party on, you storm troopers!
February 20th, 2020  
hahaha party on
February 20th, 2020  
A fitting end. I hope that your new lens is as good to you as this one was.
February 20th, 2020  
That's going to be a great lens!! I'm excited for you!
February 20th, 2020  
I love how the Storm Troopers are dancing! LOL!
February 20th, 2020  
Haha! Out with the old...and in with the new!

@gardenfolk There are days when I think that should apply to me!
@homeschoolmom They're a fun bunch when the mood takes them...
@kwind I'm looking forward to it...I think ;)
@salza As do I, as do I ;)
@adi314 They're always bloody drunk!
@rosiekerr We'll soon see...it can't be too difficult...can it?
@gardencat I like your style ;)

I do feel there should be some music to go with this action photo! You are so clever! fav

Give old thing a second chance: Gods won’t know it wasn’t working, after they burned it...
February 20th, 2020  
Love the narrative and the image.
February 20th, 2020  
That poor lens, I’m sure he didn’t mean to stop working.
February 20th, 2020  
yikes!
February 20th, 2020  
Looks like a party to me. Have fun with the new toy. :)
February 20th, 2020  
very creative - fav
February 20th, 2020  
looks in perfect nick. What a shame. Possibly worth it for this flaming image though.
February 20th, 2020  
perhaps they are doing a rain dance .... poor lens
February 20th, 2020  
hmm am i behind the times here? was it the lens that was the problem, rather than the camera? fun image. look forward (i think) to what you do with the 12-50
February 20th, 2020  
Nice party! You have increased the field of view.
February 20th, 2020  
I'm just here with the First Order Stormtroopers 😁, great composition!

12 full frame or cropped? They look as if fire feeds them
February 21st, 2020  
@jgpittenger cropped...fire feeds everything in my world :)

@pistache Turns to the lens was no longer talking to the camera....the new lens is a bonus :)

@northy I ate them all - besides which, I'm led to believe that those outfits are quite snug already
February 21st, 2020  
I’ve had some problems with that same lens grrrr! Great you have a new one. And fun to see those stormtroopers dancing round the old lens :)
February 21st, 2020  
Well done
February 22nd, 2020  
@bkbinthecity Thanks very much :)
@jacqbb It seems to be quite common with that lens from what I can gather...
February 22nd, 2020  
@graemestevens Very true, to much electronics in a very small space....
