Being caught out in the field when the heavens open isn’t good for camera gear. Fear not, keep a clear plastic bag handy and follow our guide to help you carry on shooting when the heavens open.
| 1. Bag it Take off your lens hood and place the bag over the lens so that a corner covers it and makes a cone shape. |
2. Cut it Keeping the bag taut, use your fingernail to rub the edge of the bag so it cuts it perfectly to the lens shape. |
3. Hood up Refit your lens hood taking care to make sure the bag doesn’t move and cover any part of the front element. |
| 4. Eye eye All SLR cameras have a removeable eye-cup. Take it off and pull the bag over it so the open end faces down. |
5. Manhandle Pinch or tear a small hole using your fingernail and pull it tight so it sits snugly around the eye-cup surround. |
6. Refit Place the eye-cup back over the mount so the bag sits in between the camera body and the eye-cup. Done |
