We are currently waiting out the passage of Tropical Storm Isaac when I decided that I should try a time lapse of the storm’s passing. BRILLIANT right? Not so much. The idea dried up and died rather quickly when I realised that my Camera is not Weatherproofed and the storm turned out to be less dangerous interesting than I thought it would be. I have no idea what weatherproofing entails, other than the obvious indications from the name (basically you keep rain out of your equipment?) So obviously I consult google and get way more information than I need.
What is Weatherproofing?
Exactly what the name implies- preventing damage to your equipment from elements of the weather be it rain, sleet, hail, snow, dust or sand.
How to?
1. A CASE
There are waterproof cases available which will keep out almost anything and they are really affordable.
2. DIY!!
The real gems of my google search were these ideas from Photoblog Blog, Instructables and Petapixel.
