Broken Camera Shoot 1

As promised, I would start posting images of my AZ trip.  I figured I’d get these traumatic images out of the way first, just because.  Anyways, this was the first image right after I had broken the information LCD on my camera.  I was trying to remove the tripod center column when the top, with the tripod head on it, fell onto my camera.  What was funny is that I didn’t even realize it at the time.  It wasn’t until I was trying to setup this shot that I noticed it was broken.

For setting up the camera by hand, without actually being able to look through the viewfinder, since it was so close to the ground, I was pleasantly suprised.  The lighting is actually not done by me at all, but from the outdoor lighting the neighborhood has setup lighting each of these saguaro catci.
