It was raining pretty much all weekend. I was hoping to get out on another cycle on Sunday – it would be onlt my second outing. I didn’t let the rain get me down though:
Yes you’re eyes are seeing correctly, I engineered a rain retardent solution to allow me to continue to take pictures with out fear of my camera getting damaged. I’m not actually sure if the pictures that I took made the effort worthwhile, but the DIY-ness of it was very satifying.
I was a bit confused though, I was getting some odd looks from some of the locals, even after smiling and waving they didn’t smile back (as they usually would).
After about two hours I suddenly realised why:
I have something almost identical, though a bit more of a custom fit and with a drawstring for the lens. Works OK in slow or downward rain, but on the side of Ben Nevis when the wind is coming in sideways it was worthless as the water just got straight on the lens…. 😦
Crazy Westerner! 😛
