 As you may of gathered. Christopher is my six year old son and over the weekend I was having a lot of fun taking some pictures. He also tries to keep up with me taking random pictures with his own camera (Canon SX30is) of dirt, tree, me or even poop (Yes he had a good interest at a horse farm taking pictures of horse poop). I am hoping as he is 6 years old to take more interest in photography and "work with me" at horse shows or different events. Once I have more lenses in my arsenal (I have only got 50 mm f1.8 lens). I be able to take up some more work. Mean while I am trying to get max use out of this lens as I have broken the other equipment. In the mean time I am happy that my son loves to work with me. This helps me to practice and make use what ever light I have. These pictures taken below with my Canon 7D Mk ii So the pictures below are my son pictures. I did not take these but as I was going through the SD card. I found a lot of pictures he has taken over time. I most say some pictures he has taken last year were pretty good for a 5 year old at the time..

I have a Canon 7D Mk ii and the lens that sits on the camera is Canon 70-200 mm f4 lens. Used for sport (Equine). Both costing together $2100 brand new. I have a back pack to hold the camera with few bits and pieces. On Tuesday I went up to Fairfield, Me with a friend Stefani. I went up with her to give her company as the trip north and back can be boring. While I was up there I was at someone house and I wanted to take a few pictures of a old dog. So I went out to the car to grab the bag. Sadly I forgot to zip up the main pocket because I have it ready to take the camera out if I see wild life. As I have forgotten to zip it up and thrown the bag on my back. The camera and lens flew out of the side and fell on the ground. As I turned around I see the camera and a broken lens. Now with the value of the equipment I calmly freaked out with a few choice words under my breath. I felt like a right fool but angry as well for failing to secure the camera.
 Always secure your equipmentSo what ever bag or case you have. Always secure it no matter what. I have learnt this the hard way and I think I made this mistake because I was very tired and there for I was not thinking straight. I am thinking of investing in a hard case for my equipment now on. Maybe get drop insurance too.
