On my recent trip to visit our good friends in Loudoun County Virginia, I knew I wanted to do quite a bit more photography compared to my last trip, so I spent some time online bugging folks like
Mike Besant in order to find out where the good spots were within driving distance of Loudoun County. Mike suggested Black Water Falls, West Virginia, so on my second day of our trip, off I went in search of the Falls, After a couple of missed turns, I found a beautiful state park FULL of gorgeous waterfalls after a 2 hour drive. I found this particular waterfall right before I left and had to race a family with four small kids to this location in order to get my shots finished before they arrived. While I was rushing to get to the falls, I jumped on to a loose rock and fell. The good news was that I didn't break any bones. But I landed with my full weight on the Sigma 10-20, which was attached to my Nikon.
Who knew that the Sigma was built to withstand that kind of punishment? I banged up the housing a little, but after limping over to get this shot, the Sigma seemed as good as new! I fired off a few brackets and then escaped before the four kids defended en masse.
The Sigma 10-20: Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
