and you have to turn back and pick up wife and daughter
and the table you reserved will be left to the rain
and seagulls have a shower to wash the salt away
that’s the moment to leave surf and wet suit and have a game on the empty beach! Pictures shot in front of Forte de São Julião da Barra with D800 + 50 mm or 70-200 mm on the beach of Carcavelos (Cascais). Click to enlarge
After 52,842 shots and less than 3 years, artborghi’s much beloved Nikon D800 gave its last click.
Condensation/water infiltration in the camera body caused irrecoverable oxidation, as stated by Nikon repair service. Such sudden death, despite its weather-resistant life above the sea level, its companion the rain-proof backpack and the loving care of its owner.
In its short life, artborghi’s Nikon D800 was inspirational to 250 blog posts on artborghi.com, photo calendars, news articles, photo books (in preparation), a photo exhibition , scientific talks, weddings, portrait shootings and more.
It leaves behind 2.3 TB of .NEF and .JPG files, plus a plethora of unforgettable memories and happy moments.
