Greetings,

It sounds you are off to an exciting adventure! You are wise to ask about dry proofing your gear. Even well designed and weatherproofed bodies and lenses
are suspectable to problems from moisture. With that in mind, make sure before you head out you will need anything you bring, less may be more!

When you find yourself in a wet environments, I’d recommend keeping the gear in a rubberized or waterproof nylon sealed camera bag and take out items only
when you need them. You may also consider carrying each item separately inside a sealable heavy duty food storage bag for extra moisture protection. Consider
taking a few large (hand towel size) micro cloths for both wrapping the gear as well as drying it. The minute any item gets wet/damp dry it off immediately.

If you are spending the evenings in a dry place, take everything out of the camera bag and the food storage bags, open the battery slots pull the batteries and let
it all dry out, even pop open the memory card slots. Also bring extra food storage bags and maybe a small garbage bag or two to make a ad-hoc camera “rain-coat”
if needed. And as always bring extra batteries and memory cards.

If you are bringing a laptop consider downloading the cards everyday just in case.

As you may know, rice can suck up moisture, if you’ve got your gear in sealed bag(s), some folks put a small cloth, securely sealed bag, like the toe section of an old
sock, in the storage bags to help with absorption.

The above recommendations are all low cost if you’ve got some funds and access here are some commercial solutions:

· Dry bags, you can find them at camping stores: https://amzn.to/2Gyhcd8
· Waterproof camera bag (many options, this one is just for reference): https://amzn.to/2pJ6TJC
· Desiccant (a reusable unit to chemically absorb moisture): https://bhpho.to/2uqAwUO

You’ve got the basics now, but don’t let all the precautions keep you from having a great time and getting amazing images!

Happy Shooting!

Hi, thanks for your inquiry. Much of what you are asking is already described in the article, including the camera settings. Basically, I’m always looking for meaningful combinations or color, light, and composition. This scene happened to catch my eye at the same time the light was at its peak, so everything came together perfectly! – Ian Plant
