Since I have owned my Fuji Finepix S1800, I have found a reason to like cloudy days. I get great pictures then. But always avoided the rain. Thanks for the tip with the zip lock baggies. I can go out in the rain now and enjoy that too.

Thanks for these tips. I’ve always thought of the rain as a place to capture some of the most stunning views. Rain is a bit like snow in that renews and canvasses whatever it touches, investing everything with new life.

One other point on the snow/wet weather shooting as well as letting your equipment dry it is essential to let it warm up completely as a cold camera sucks up condensation. Avoid changing media and lenses until at room temperature. saturated Silica gel can be dried and reused if gently toasted.

Placing Silica Gel in your camera bag is a great way to prevent both condensation on the lens and damage in the form of corrosion due to long term moisture exposure. It is best to use fresh Silica Gel and replace it when it becomes fully saturated. www.silicagelpackets.com is where I get my packets to use with my cameras and lenses.
