I haven't been brilliant with taking photos, keeping my blog up to date or posting on Flickr lately. This is because a week ago, I took out my faithful 40D from its winter hiding place, carefully put on my trusty nifty fifty lens and went out into the garden to catch some blossom. And oh no! The camera refused to work! I went to charge up the battery, although deep inside I knew the battery wasn't at fault. After a whole night in the charger, I tried again. Nothing, absolutely nothing. Almost in tears I researched on the web and discovered that some 40D's with a particular code, had a habit of their motor breaking. In despair I rang the most recommended repair shop and on hearing the serial number of my camera, immediately said it was more than 90% likely I'd lost at least one of the two motors. So, my camera is now being repaired -and I have to say that after only a few thousand photos, I am rather shocked that a Canon can be so faulty.
So here is my shot for today - we started with rain and we're ending the day with blue skies and the promise of HEAT for the weekend!!
