From Invader Zim “Walk of Doom”
Author: Milan
In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. In the fall of 2005, I began reading for an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. Outside school, I am very interested in photography, writing, and the outdoors. I am writing this blog to keep in touch with friends and family around the world, provide a more personal view of graduate student life in Oxford, and pass on some lessons I've learned here.

The Solar Eclipse of 2017 Destroyed Lots of Rental Camera Gear
Despite numerous warnings sent out to renters, a number of LensRental’s camera equipment came back damaged and destroyed from the solar eclipse of 2017. PetaPixel provides pictures in a report that shows some of the damage. One photo, for example, “shows a Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 lens that had its aperture blades partially melted by the sun during the eclipse,” while another shows a Canon 7D Mark II shutter being burned so bad that “the heat went past it and damaged the sensor behind it as well.”
