Vol. 2 No. 15
The Spring 2010 Photo Walk started out will a steady rain coming down as 11 of us gathered under the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden Viewing Pavilion. A pretty nice showing in this weather. After handing out several recycled Op/Tech 18" SLR Rainsleeves and passing along some tips on using the rain as a subject, the group headed out for, what would be several hours of photographic opportunities.
Here are some photographs I made during the event. Later this week, I'll post a few images captured by some of the other walk participants.

Nikon D300 ISO 1250 18-200mm at 40mm f/4.5 1/15 secThe sun had just set and the snow was still falling. The mood was enhanced further by using a tungsten white balance to match the glow from the lamppost. The camera was mounted on a tripod and was protected from the elements in a Kata E-702 Rain Cover.
A word of caution when shooting outdoors in the cold, watch out for condensation. When you take you cold-soaked camera back into a warm environment, it will begin to sweat. If you take your warm camera out into the cold, I can almost guarantee your lens, viewfinder and LCD screen cover will fog. Worst yet, if this condensation begins to form inside your camera or lens' internal elements, you will probably be faced with a costly repair.
There is a simple way to combat this problem. Just keep your camera sealed in a Ziploc bag until the camera stabilizes with the external temperature. Any condensation that occurs will form on the outside of the bag, keeping the camera and lens nice and dry.
