This is what I get for not paying attention

9 years 5 months ago #411713 by Tony Imaging
First off who's from a windy area?  If you live in So Cal, you know how windy it is out side today.  I was photographing up in Huntington Beach this morning and not paying attention when I was changing out my lenses.  Yes, there is a 's' at the end of lenses to suggest I did this many times.  :pinch:   I just got home and my cameras insides are DIRTY!

I guess I know what I'll be doing this afternoon.  :rofl:

Another great use for a clear, 30 gallon trash bag? I cover my entire kit on tripod before changing lenses in the outdoors......;)

Why so serious?

I prefer to jump into my car if it's around.  Even using trash bag, dust still can get in.

I use plastic bag too.  Now mind you, if the winds are crazy strong, using a plastic bag can be a head ache.  Your better off going to your car.

Oh NO!   Sorry to hear this.  Did you manage to get it all cleaned up?   This reminds me that I need to clean my camera.  My last round of photos all had a small dot in the same position.
