Sports Shooter Destination: Antarctica- ‘Hell yeah you go.’:
Two lenses break the first day. MkII quits halfway in. The insurance-provided 50D is blasted to smithereens by water cannons. You think, I should be more careful. But not too careful. I don’t want to miss pictures. You take fewer chances, but the 30D suffers a sticky shutter anyway. A battery charger dies. Card reader fails inexplicably. WTF? You seal up the 30D with duct tape and blow through 120,000+ frames with what you have. And when you arrive home with lighter bags— just a borrowed 20D and one working lens left — you console yourself. Say it’s OK. Cause it was all worth it.
