Lenses, lessons, and a pocket full of corn

*I rented a fast 17-55mm lens from BorrowLenses.com.  This is a dream service when your not sure on a lens and your lottery ticket hasn't come in yet.  I am planning on a trip and needed a lens that would take in a lot of landscape but also let me take pictures in tight rooms.

So far it's working great.  The only thing wrong now is that my kids are not being cooperative in the picture department so I am forced to follow the ducks again.  As long as I carry a pocket full of corn, me and the ducks get along.  The lens is also giving a sort of fisheye view of things without to much distortion.

(used Andie's RoadTrip Presets for Lightroom from PinkInkStudios.net)

Today I got some great pictures of the son riding horses with his friends.  But some where between the dining room and the stairs, the pictures slid right  off of the SD card before I could get it to the computer.  I know they were there,  I saw them in the LCD screen on the back of the camera.

But this is the second time this has happened that I have noticed.  The first time it really hurt to lose those files.  What did I do wrong so I can learn this lessons and not have this catch me again?

Anyway, for the trip, I got a Tracy Joy Camera Bag.  It is wonderful with all the pockets on the inside.

This one is the Kristine in brown with the BOHO print.  I think I'm going to have to go back and get the Owl print.
