As promised yesterday, here is an evening photo of the current weather situation. I’m quite weather neutral really, rain or shine I enjoy snapping away and have nothing against a stroll across fields during a downpour. Having said that though, wet weather, although fascinating to capture, does pose problems. Who wants to get a nice new camera soaking wet? Apparently the average digital goody doesn’t like water at all.
I’m not seriously considering a new camera at the moment.. well not really, but if I was, which models would make it to the final choice? The image below was captured with my mobile phone, kept dry by a bus shelter (well actually t’was a tram shelter but that just didn’t sound right). How many times during a photographic year do I really stand under a rain cloud and shoot pictures? My choice seems to be between the robust, rainproof Pentax or, if the photo magazines are to be believed, the superior image quality of a Nikon. Ah, decisions decisions.
