We welcome fall for the season’s respite from the sweltering summer sun, but with this lovely season often comes unpredictable weather and obstacles to getting that perfect shot we seek. With a little preparation, however, you’ll find that the outdoors can be a powerful partner in helping you garner some of your favorite photos ever!
Prepare for the Possibilities: Certain parts of the country are more prone to rain than others, but there will always be surprise showers hiding behind those seemingly sunny skies. It’s best to have provisions for rain and moisture tucked away in your bag, backpack or the trunk of your car. Keep a clear plastic bag to cover and transport your gear and keep it safe, along with a towel, compressed air and a lens cleaning kit.
Get a Jacket for Your Camera: The debate on whether dogs should wear sweaters rages on, but we fervently believe your camera should be properly dressed in lousy weather conditions. Our rain jacket is competitively priced and designed to accommodate most SLR and DSLR models. You can access all the controls through two side sleeves and getting the jacket on and off your camera is a snap.
Choose Gear that Weathers the Weather Well: There are many photography products designed specifically to withstand the rigors of temperamental Mother Nature. For example, our new AWXC Red Card (available in CF and SDHC) is an ultra high-speed memory card designed to be waterproof, shockproof and specifically designed for use in extreme temperatures. If your outdoor events include rain, sleet or snow, this media card will protect your images because it’s designed for use in difficult weather situations. Another bonus? These cards are manufactured in the U.S.A.
Protect Your Lens: We’ve all had those cringe-worthy moments when we realize that we’ve touched our lens or inadvertently bumped into something with our lens bearing the brunt of the collision. We have a new protective filter designed specifically to protect your lens from smudges and the elements. The PROMASTER Digital HGX Protection filter is a crystal clear colorless filter with second generation advanced anti-reflective coatings designed especially for use with digital imaging sensors. The HGX filters have the exclusive REPELLAMAX Element Resistant coating which repeals moisture, dust, and fingerprints. Try the fingerprint test to see how well it works!
Don’t Forgo the Tripod: Fluctuating weather conditions don’t always require keeping your tripod at home, especially for those sporting events and other situations where stability and positioning are critical to getting the best shots. Our new Classic Combi Tripods have sealed leg locks designed to resist moisture, sand and grit, so if you if you’re looking for a tripod that can take on any outdoor adventure, consider this one.
