I spent a lunch hour at Mountain Equipement Coop, getting some supplies for my upcoming trip. First on the list was a set of waterproof double heavy duty special ziplock bags made just for electronics (cell phones, BBs, cameras!)
There’s a super jumbo size that will fit nicely over a DSLR , but you’ll have to keep the lens pointing out of the partially sealed ziplock so you can get a clear shot. but in my hour or so of testing it kept the camera and lens dry and prevented drops from splashing on the lens glass.
The kit is about $30, and has an assortment of sizes. You can also get other size by special order. The assortment pack is good for me and I have a ton of gizmos! My iPhone and my GPS go with me everywhere too and these pouches are perfect for them!
If you’re desined to be out doors in soggy wet dismal weather (best photos happen with weather!!!) these waterproof baggies will make sure that you’re not stressing about killing all your gizmos AND will allow you to shoot in a downpour, for some artisitc and hopefully dramatic shots.
I have a few more inclement weather tips coming up – I’ve had plenty of time to practice and perfect them this year!
ttfn,
