It is always good to have a camera. This past weekend I was chaperoning a winter retreat at
Monadnock Bible Conference Center when a couple spring chickens decided to walk down the aisle together. (Technically it was a civil union, because chickens aren't allowed to be married in the state of New Hampshire. But I don't think they cared much for technicality.) With no more than 30 minutes notice, I rushed back to the dorm to grab my camera and 70-200 f/4 lens. (Great outdoor lens, not so great for dimly lit chapels!) I returned in time for the magical moment, and firing off a dozen careful shots I was able to capture one that was fairly sharp.
Backstory: the 200 or so campers are divided into two teams for the weekend. One way to earn points for the teams is to find and return rubber chickens that are planted around the camp. The first night, one young lady brought up a chicken with some sort of fluffy apparel around the neck. The M.C. said that more elaborate costumes could potentially earn extra points.
