This is the first day of my photo-a-day project for 2010. It didn't get off to a great start. I left my camera (Nikon D40) in a precarious place, and my niece Rebecca walked past and knocked it down. At first I thought it was ok, as I could still take pictures ok, but then I tried to adjust the focal length of the lens, and found that it was stuck. When I took it off I found that the glass lens had dropped down inside the casing, and seemed to have come off the runners that allow it to be adjusted. My husband, who believes he can fix anything, took it apart and spent about an hour trying to fix it, but to no avail. I took this picture of him at work with my Samsung Flight cell phone camera.
Fortunately this was my least expensive lens, the 18-55mm kit one that came with the camera. I have 2 other lenses I can use, and in the meantime I'm going to order a better replacement for the broken lens.
