Nice little gallery! beauty, and humor.
In answer to your question - yup - when it drops below ,um, 45 degrees f
at least I always bring a baggie, ziplock or other wise and rubberbands
to immediately enclose the camera before going inside - anywhere.
Whether or not (no pun) I even shot anything or plan to
remove the card. Got in that habit with film cameras and anything that
would be affected by condensation I'd say should be treated that way.
I had my friend from Ipswich visiting here since last Wed. He was
supposed to leave Sunday morning but happily the Megabus was cancelled
so I had him for another day :-).
Part of his visit was work related but that didn't take a lot of his time.
Minor downside was I didn't get to Tompkins square park in the best
light for snaps.. and here , right in Manhattan, we basically dodged
a bullet on this storm - snow practically gone already from my
neighborhood.

Hi all,
The past few days have provided a nice break in the usual action
around here. I took the camera out yesterday, along with my shovel,
thinking I'd get a few neighborhood scenes... Well, it was harder than
I thought it would be, just getting out of my own yard... though I did
consider strapping some tennis rackets to my boots as snowshoes...
Anyway, a few shots here:

Now for my question...
I learned long ago that it's a good idea, after being out in the cold
with your camera, to bag it up in a ziploc & then let it come to room
temp for a couple of hours before using/retrieving sd card, etc. All
in the name of preventing condensation/moisture from getting into the
camera & messing with the electronics, etc.. Here's what I wonder:
1) How many of you do this?
2) For a weatherproof camera, like the k-5, is this "less necessary"?
Especially when combined with a WR lens...?
Thanks for your thoughts...
:)
