i pushed my luck a whole lot when i shouldn't have, and nearly lost a camera to it. I also let it get in the way of enjoying my time out, because i let it get in my head that 'i don't get to playalinda often, i need to make the most of it'
juggling one tripod in the crashing waves was already enough of a challenge as it stood, i didn't need to try at the last minute to work a second one in "so i had a backup." the 70-300 had me covered for getting both shots i wanted to try for, i shouldn't have tried to bring a second camera into the fold to try and do both at once.
i broke my one personal rule for doing these shoots. "don't try too hard and don't let it get in the way of enjoying yourself."
ugh
