Gonna leave old Durham town...

Gonna leave old Durham town..., originally uploaded by Venn Diagram.

SIngle shot from my trip to Durham last week. I've thought this would make an interesting image for a bit, but never been over that way.

Had an idea of taking lots of photos. Unfortunately, discovered that a chance slight knock of my camera bag had smashed the skylight on my Sigma 10-20mm lens. Ouch.

Luckily seems like no damage to the lens, visited the local Jessops for a blast of canned air and a new 77mm skylight. Now £35 the poorer and only ended up with one shot. However, could be worse, at least the lens was OK. :-)

Wouldn't care, but the skylight that was in was a Sigma DG ultra-thin glass - cost something silly when I bought the lens, more than the £35 Jessops replacement. Teach me to go sticking expensive glassware on the front of my lens just to try and cut down vignetting...
