Rain Protection for your camera
Oct 23, 2017 17:53:54 #
When we visited Niagara Falls we where on the boat and my husband wanted to take closed up picture right by the fall, he took a white see through plastic bag put the bag over the camera with the open end exposing the front of the lens, he put a rubber band around to hold the bag on the camera lens, he shot some great pictures like that.
I didn't take my camera with me on the boat I had my Canon 5D with me on that trip I didn't want to take a chance getting may camera damaged.

when we visited Niagara Falls in Canada.
My husband had his camera with him on the boat trip he wanted closed up pictures right by fall. He took a white plastic see through bag put it over the camera with the open end exposing the front of the lens fastened it with a rubber band. He took some of he prettiest pictures like this.

I do appreciate all of the suggestions for rain protection and all very good suggestions too. However I have basic rain protection. I was looking for a specific kind/brand of rain protection that was described at the onset that I saw at a birding seminar. I thought someone might also have seen or even used what was described. It was way above what I own and what I have seen.

Have you tried emailing the guy who hosted the seminar? If you find out the answer, I sure hope you will share it with us.

Yes, I found his email address and sent an inquiry to him. And I will post his reply for all to see.

Perhaps the rain cover you saw was home-made. In the 1990's, I saw quite a few professional photographers use rain covers they designed and manufactured themselves; some were so astonishingly well done, made for a perfect fit. Back then, the selection of camera accessories was much more limited compared to today, and serious photographers often custom-designed their own accessories.

I hope we get an answer to this question.

Possibly except I saw another one like it in the same group of people, same day.

Are there any photos of the presentation that the organization might have posted? One might show the sleeve. Just a thought.

Possibly. The presentation was set up by a third party and they also did the description of the seminar and managed the details. Other than the presenter I don't know names of any of the attendees. The presentation was not local but about 3 hours away at a community center. So although pictures were taken I don't know how to contact anyone about them. I sent an email to the presenter and I'm hoping he will answer. In the meantime I can relook at the presentation details for any other contacts. Thanks.

I heard back from the presenter and he said it was a Lenscoat product. I would not have guessed that from the very specific fit but maybe his camera/lens combo was just the right size and shape to appear custom. Also Steve Perry (Backcountry Gallery) said he uses Lenscoat products too. Lenscoat makes a raincoat called- you guessed it- Lenscoat raincoat :)
