300/366 To celebrate hitting a big round number of posts for this 365 project, I decided to dig through my archives and unearth a bit of my analogue prehistory. So for the first half of this week I’ll be showing some images from my very first hike with only analogue cameras in tow. These are over two years old now and from a time when I was just learning my craft, so please excuse the scanning artifacts, scratches and dust. The negatives themselves have held up well, so maybe it’s time to think about digitising them again, this time with a much better idea of what I am doing.

I can totally understand why! These images wouldn’t have turned out nearly as well on a bright and sunny day.
How do you keep your camera dry in these conditions? I always seem to have one hand too few while I’m juggling an umbrella, camera, tripod and other necessities.

my biggest problem with the wooden field camera… with almost all the others, I must admit I simply let them get wet and give them a bit of extra care afterwards.

Yeah, fair enough. I don’t worry too much about most of my cameras, but there are a few, like the X-Pan, that I try to keep as dry as possible. In such situations an umbrella holder would be fantastic…

Umbrella holder: What about the kind used in studio lighting, for those reflector umbrellas? Or a setup like two clamps with a flexible arm in between, one attached to a tripod leg, and the other holding the umbrella…

I have seen something similar to this before, but specifically made for umbrellas. Perhaps it was Steve O’Nions on Youtube where I saw it?
I’m sure it would work really well if one were standing on the spot waiting for an image, but I’m not sure if it would improve the juggling act when moving about trying to find images. I might have to bite the bullet and organise a rain cover of some kind for the camera.
