Photographers with expensive gear often insure it against accidents and theft. This 1-minute video shows something else it can protect you from: asinine “pranks” when you’re simply minding your own business. According to the St Albans and Harpenden Review , the incident occurred in St Albans, Hertfordshire, England, on May 7th, 2018. The photographer was shooting along the edge of the ornamental lake in Verulamium Park when a man walked up to her from behind, shoved her into the water, and then walked away. The woman received bruises on her arm and damage to her Canon DSLR equipment worth many thousands of dollars. “It is believed this was an unprovoked attack on a woman who was taking wildlife photos in the park that day,” police stated after the incident. “Anyone with information is asked to contact police via the non-emergency number 101, quoting crime reference F1/18/2071.” Although there were many witnesses who immediately began taking photos and videos of the suspect aft...

The shutter on my old Canon 5D Mark II died while on a trip to Fiji earlier this year. It happened quickly; I was shooting a panorama when horizontal black bars started appearing in some of the shots. After about 10 more photos in between turning the camera off and on again, it was dead. The shutter was stuck closed and powering the camera on yielded a helpless sounding soft ‘clunk’ and an “Error 20″ message. I was quoted around $500 to get this fixed at a repair shop. But.. an OEM replacement shutter is only $90 on eBay . So, after about 6 months of putting it off I finally built up enough #YOLO fever to have a crack at fixing it myself, saving $400 and learning a few things along the way. The result? Watch the video for the abbreviated version, or continue reading on below for the guide! My verdict, for anyone else who is interested in attempting the same repair – it’s totally doable. Allow the good part of a day to plan, prepare and do the repair at a steady pace. Doing it a seco...
