RaymondC Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Basically how do you deal with this issue? In particular I was using a tripod at night building photography with several seconds exposure. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlong Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Use a lens hood/umbrella/hand to keep the rain off the lens surface. Some filters, such as B+W's MRC filters, also have coatings that are hydrophobic, which tends to make water bead up and run off, but it's better to keep the water off in the first place if you want a totally clean image.

john_vance Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 A strategically mounted umbrella maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_sunley Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Umbrella or big lens hood during. After, all depends if they add to the image or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Michael Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 For a semi permanent Tripod Setup you could construct a makeshift shelter, using a light frame and some water resistant cloth, it depends on the situation: any simple overhead shelter works quite well, if it is not too windy. For a less permanent situation, using a couple of friends used as tent pegs and a large sheet of plastic would do, I always carry large green garbage bags, in my camera bag. At a pinch you should be able to hold a large sheet of plastic yourself and trigger the cable / timer release with your mouth, if necessary.

mendel_leisk Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Raindrops on your camera can be serious, with all the electronics. If it's beyond an occasional drop I would pack it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
