Hi Beccy, hope all’s well! I had trouble with mist on one of the variable aperture zooms I was using, presumably due to the zooming barrel allowing water in. The fixed aperture 70-200, F2.8 seemed to stay completely water tight though, along with the camera body. I did a shoot last night and it still all works! Take care, Ian

Ian,

Great shots under difficult and uncontrollable circumstances. I have a similar ‘drenched camera’ story after photographing a sponsored climb up Snowdon with my Nikon D3 safely carried up during 4 hours of relentless and driving Welsh rain, in a dedicated camera rucksack.

I managed to get shots at the top of the successful climbers in a deluge and then followed the descent and refuge in the hotel at the foot of the mountain to get a group shot of the survivors. Oh no! Drenched camera misted up in warm muggy atmosphere and the electrics totally shorted out. Result – a complete write off. Apparently, I should have let it dry out naturally!! Lesson learned!

I love the idea of the Check Um Campaign because guys are never told to CHECK UM growing up.

As of this month, I am a Testicular Cancer Survivor…31 years old and Cancer is not in my family. I suppose I drew the short stick…LOL!!

Greetings from Germany… Very very nice pictures. I like women boxing and i am a big fan. It is a nice idea for knockout pics or more mouthguard pics for example in the breaks you can make very nice shots when you put out the mouthguard

Best Regards

I do have a lot more, but not really any ‘knockout’ images. Maybe I’ll do those next time!

Thanks Gerry. Only one flash at the front = only one catchlight!

Three really nice portraits. Thank God there is still someone out there who knows how to get only one catchlight in the eyes. Martin Kemp has piercing blue eyes that I had never noticed before, they are very powerful.
