A 50mm Lens, a Wombat and a Hill Losing a lens on a shoot is every photographer’s nightmare. This is the time it happened to Collin Harrington.

In 2014 I was at Bonny Doon in Victoria, Australia filming a wakeboard movie for Liquid Force Wakeboards. Our last night of the trip Raph Derome, Bob Soven and I decided to hike up an overlook to shoot the milky way at about 10pm. I would say it was probably about 1000ft or so incline. The hill below is a similar size to give some perspective. I had brought minimal gear with only tripod, Canon 7D, Canon 16-35 and a Canon 50mm 1.2. While I was getting my settings right, I snapped a shot of us hanging there on the log. My 50mm was sitting on the ground just on the other side of it. Right after this group shot was taken Raph (with guitar) stood up and I heard a noise. For some reason I instantly knew what it was without even seeing it.
