Jungle+Camera=Foggy Lenses

Tue Jan 6, 2009, 5:36 PM
I forgot how damned humid it can get in Tropical Rainforest... I recced a new "secret" waterfall with Dad yesterday deep in the Boonies after a quick run up an old logging track (plus pulling the Prado out of the mud with my Patrol) and then just over an hours hike up a beautiful stream that was littered with beautiful ankle breaking slippery rocks. Elitany will know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, I had to change lenses like a man possessed and after whipping out my wideangle to swap for the macro for the umpteenth time, I peered through the eyepiece to see a well pretty version of Dad through a fog as he abseiled down the waterfall... god the lens was fogged and it kept getting fogged. Now I know why all of Dad's old lenses are hammered by fungi since he shoots so much in the jungle.

New note to self, bring a dedicated camera towel and more cleaning cloths and get a decent all in one 20-300mm macro (if it exists) to cut down on lens changes whilst standing on two slippery rocks in the middle of a stream...
