Next time you want to destroy "old equipment" let me know.

I'd gladly trade you my 20D for your 7D.

Brilliant. I want to know the secret, because I utterly refuse to believe this is real {denial}

I cringed when I was voting.....seems like it drew the same reaction from a lot of people! That's a good thing in the oops challenge. Congrats on the idea and the ribbon!

It's not a coffee cup it's a money box ill post up out takes soon, no fishing wire here chucked it down ten times or so to get good movement, wanted to do multi strobe movement capture but it was after my boys bed time so had to rush.

Haha a yellow, funny was at 6.7 early on but dropped all week

Took 5 mins to shoot and my boys such a good actor

That's gotta be a coffee-mug 70-200mm, right? Canon doesn't make a white shade, right? Tell me I'm right! But what about the CAMERA? Of COURSE you didn't sacrifice a 7D for a virtual ribbon? It's on a fishing line right? Tell me I'm right! TELL ME!

Curiously, thjis could technically the worst image ever to ribbon in DPC, certainly in my time here. But I knew as soon as I saw it that it would ribbon, because it touches the horrifying spot within us where none of us want to linger.

Congrats!

Great expression on the kids face! I would have liked to had seen a touch more lighting on him... but, since the main subject of the oops should be the camera and lens, I'm ok with the lighting.
I'm HOPING that these are suspended from fishing line or something? lol

Great concept.
