This photo has a bit of a bittersweet story behind it:
ISO 100 135mm 0ev f/6.3 1/250
It’s the Canadian Rockies as seen from a train. We were on a lovely trip from Toronto to Vancouver on the train. This was one of the last photos I got before my camera broke. I am sure you can imagine that I was quite upset. Two of the prongs (wrong word I am sure) were bent and the memory card would no longer work in the camera. I spent the rest of the trip using my point and shoot camera. Here is the point when you would be right to note that I am lucky enough to have both a point and shoot and a DSLR. Also, I was able to get my Canon 50D fixed. So, I’ll concede it wasn’t a total disaster. But still.
The Canadian Rockies are beautiful and so this is my entry for this week at Where’s my backpack?
Cheers!

I been there before that my camera is not friendly, and cruel to me during my 1st European trip. I downloaded my camera to the computer desk of the hotel. Because of my stupidity, all the photos were deleted, I accidentally click “Delete.” It was in French language so I don’t understand.
After that my camera wont shot any single photo, when I brought it to be fixed it said the LCD was broken grrrrr!

That is very disappointing. I think I know a bit about how frustrating that must have been.

I loved this trip. The train wasn’t the cheapest option, but we all really enjoyed it.

I know something of the feeling…my camera broke in NZ – one of the last days. Luckily we were there the whole family so we had at least six other cameras I could use!

I forgot my camera in a taxi once: 5 weeks of photos plus the camera gone forever… Shieeet.
Another camera of mine fell from a chair onto a marble floor. it was a short fall, approximately 35 centimeters. The camera was inside an unoriginal bag and for the price of 317,66 US$ (the cost of fixing the camera) I learned never to use unoriginal bags ever again.

I know they say live and learn. That’s true, but it is still awful when it happens to you. Losing 5 weeks of photos must have really hurt.
