biscuits_brown Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I'm something of a "silly" photographer at MV shows. Several hundred photos over a weekend would not be unusual, over the course of Beltring week I can touch 1000 if I try :wink: This'll be the first year that I'll be using a digital SLR and a thought has occurred... Beltring = Dust! Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Get thee unto a Maplins (or the nearest equivalent and get thyself one of those aerosol cans of "air duster" used for cleaning dirt from PC's, about an inch in dia and about 6"long. Fits in a pocket nicely. Costs about £10. See here: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?TabID=1&ModuleNo=45631&doy=23m6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapper Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Just seen this - so take some advice for next year. DON'T CHANGE YOUR LENS ANYWHERE NEAR THE ARENA - if at all. I use an SLR and a digi compact for all my work To be honest this arrangement did not work so well this year and I will get a second SLR to mount a decent telephoto lens permanently, while still making use of the digi snapper. Zoomer and I were snapping people in the beer tents for the show website and my D70S did not like focusing in the dark at all - so a snapper would be better for some of the event. Some pros get proper dust hoods for their kit. But I can't be arsed. The compressed air does help - but read up on CCD care for SLRs - you can seriously ufck them up if you are not careful. I wrecked two Nikon F70 film cameras at Beltring in 2005. But the results were fantastic. So.... NEVER feel bad about taking too many snaps. I kept my total down to 3,000 this year over 4 days. My problem is they all seem to be of drunk extras from Allo Allo and an Elvis impersonater - not MVs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
