06Aug Mother nature hates me.
Between storms I was able to run out and grab a few shots with my cell phone of my car. Lightning hit the tree right next to my car and crushed the back of it. Thankfully all of my camera gear was in side. My car is totaled, but I still have to drive it home.
Thankfully all of my footage from this weeks shoot was saved and no computers were damaged in this storm. I guess it’s time to start looking for a new car.

Wow, first you had a HD crash, now your car is demolished … I think you are do for some good luck.
Q: Have you come to any conclusions about Power2000 generic LP-E8 batteries in your Heir grip for your t2i?
I am about to order the grip because of your review, but wondered if you have come to any conclusions about the batteries.
Thanks! Joel

A footnote to the battery question I posted above … I just ordered 4 from amazon, but the shipping and handling turned out to be nearly $30 bucks.
So, I cancelled … looking now for a better supplier of the Power2000 generic LP-E8 batteries.
