A bird pooped on my camera, what are the odds??
I woke up early this morning to photograph the sunrise. I had my camera set up, and I walk back to my car to get a PowerBar and my coffee thermos. It's about a 10 minute round trip walk. I get back and there is a big bird poop on my lens and camera body!Green, white slimy mess
I have no napkins, nor anything to clean this with. I walk back to my car and found 2 McDonald napkins under my seat. I'm unable to get it fully cleared in the field as it's in the cracks. Wipe it off and called it what it was.
I'm back home and cleaned my camera.
Will bird poop eat at the cameras coating if not cleaned right away?
I'm guessing the back end drop from this bird would be HUGE!
