No, this is no sweet photography trick and I’m not trying anything fancy, this is because the shutter won’t open all the way on the camera. Well, it does now (most of the time). I made the stupid mistake of trying to climb around the rocks with my camera in my hand, and it swung out – almost dropped it completely, and it hit the side of the Mt. Sinai and something has happened. Most of the time, the shutters actually open, but there are some times when they don’t, and I have to kind of “flick” them to get them to open. So…sorry mom and dad. I’ll buy you a new one, no worries – this one is thoroughly going to be “used” when I get home. But…if you are climbing Mt. Sinai, just keep your camera in your bag…
Duh.
