Behind the scenes

Graham, just because you can drive your truck on two wheels doesn't mean necessary that you should Might I suggest a rain cover?

There's a Contax and a P65+ buried in there

Well, in full disclosure this was how it looked - two hand towels to keep off the snow and dry the camera between shots. Snow fall was as bad as in your image.

I figured there was something like that. The images I took were also from Yosemite. There's something special about that place in a good winter storm. I might be biased from reading the stories in "The Wild Muir" many years ago. http://www.yosemiteconservancystore...uir-22-of-john-muir-s-greatest-adventures.htm

The one thing that I will do differently in the future is put a line of gaffers tape over the join between the VF and the body as water wants to creep in there and when I disassembled and dried everything that was the one place where a little water had crept in albeit outside of the VF.

The secret is to regularly dab the body / lens etc with a towel to avoid letting water slip into any crevices.

I have a microfiber towel (you should always have a towel with you) that not only is absorbent and dries quickly, but can be wrung out very effectively. It is also gentle on the gear.

I'm jealous of your dog, Steven. I never had a dog that would be able to sit patiently while I photographed a scene. My dog would be the one romping through the brush, and when in groups, giving everyone that surprise sniff from behind...

This'll scare the crap out of my amateur MF shooters but invoke a 'so what' from pros - it's water proof enough if you take care:

So Graham, was there any long term damage at all to any components? Thats pretty wet! I had no idea XF and IQ system would stand up to that much water.:bugeyes:

Pardon my ignorance but is there any specific reason for that Blue band around your back?

 

[danlindberg]

Thank you, Dan.

Are you sure the camera is level?

Yep! The Alpa circular bubble on top is spot on. Bumpy ground though....

Hi Dan, I've been looking into that shade, however, I'd like to know whether you're using it with the centre filter or not? I need to use the centre filter for what I do, but couldn't figure out whether or not the shade will fit over that...

Sorry for late answer Beano! I don't use and feel the need for CF with HR32, so I cannot answer. But the shade was an improvement in contrast no matter scene. Love it!

I like the color version

My wife said the same, so I might have to reconsider

Sierra Las Nieves, the nature reserve that is around the corner from where I live. I go here often and yet there are always new images to be found.
