Was outside last night taking photos of the moon and left cameras IN camera case but open outside. I've removed batteries, memory cards. I wiped down lenses and dried them with a blow dryer. (no rain, thank goodness, but they did have some condensation on them.) I also took the blow dryer to camera bodies to warm them up. (my babies were cold)
Do I need to do anything else?

I always just let them warm up themselves inside for a couple of hours, that's all I have ever done.

Thank you. No worries about not doing it again, this one time was enough!!!

I believe you have already done far too much to introduce fungus. Personally, I would NEVER use a hair blower on my camera and lens. If they are cold and you hit them with hot air, it will create condensation, which leads to fungus. If I had been in that situation, I would have put them in a sealed plastic bag with silica gel, while still outside. Then bring the sealed bag indoors and allow the equipment to warm gradually to room temperature prior to removing from the sealed bag. Then wipe down the outside areas if necessary and use a rocket blower for internal areas, if necessary.

Amen to that brother Bob.
Also I do numerous curling shoots where the temperature in the ice shed is less than 40 degrees and in the warm room about 68 degrees. I may spend 20 to 40 minutes at a time taking shots on the ice. Never leave the camera in the ice shed when it is my turn to curl. It then stays in the warm room.
