Sun, sea, sand and a broken 24-105 f/4 L

As the weather forecasts are usually wrong, we decided to head towards the beach. And we were right to do so, a bit overcast, but the sun eventually shone through.

So please excuse the family snaps…….

Managed to bag a bit of wildlife also……

Downside, as some of the more observant of you would have spotted is the overexposure of the images. Which is more pronounced in this image……

Seems my 24-105 f/4 L doesn’t want to adjust the aperture blades without a fight. I’ve tried the usual cleaning the contacts, but nothing changed. It may be suffering from humidity/sea spray issues. So currently got it wrapped up in a woolly cardy so see if that helps (was told wool is good to help prevent humidity issues in cameras.

Anyway real annoyance is this lens is my primary lens for the blessing I’m shooting on Saturday. I’m not in a position to rent for the weekend as I’m not around until the weekend.

I still have my EF17-40 f/4 L, EF50mm f/1.5 and EF70-200 f/4 L. So I will only struggle if I need 41-49 and 51-70mm. I’m guessing that’s unlikely. We’ll see what happens, you never know wool may conquer.

  1. Superb shots, your family is made of awesome! Lou looks really stunning in that second shot (not that she doesn’t look amazing anyway!)
