The little things
I’m half way through a four day weekend of photography for various clients. Whilst shooting yesterday I noticed that my faithful spirit level that attaches to my camera wasn’t giving correct read outs and a few of the shots looked wonky. As it was internal I lined them up by eye. Turns out I’ve dropped it recently and damaged it, breaking some of the plastic bits round the side. This meant I could rotate it in the hotshoe whilst the camera was in the vertical orientation. Pretty annoying as I rely heavily on this bit of kit. Amazing how this inexpensive item can be so useful, or so frustrating when you’ve broken it.
I’ve just been to eBay to buy 3 more. Worth keeping a couple of spares in the future I think.
