And right after that, the day went all to hell. I was on one of the side trails, set up by the path railing, shooting the tit above. A trail bike maniac came sharp downhill around the corner, yelling "Look Out!" I turned, slid in the loose sand and gravel, and went sideways. I caught the rail before going to the ground, but so did the D500, hitting right above the view finder with a loud whack. I got upright and checked the camera. No auto focus, no fstop. I just finished the SquareDeal claim form and am waiting for the shipping label to print.
The rider did not stop, of course.
