Lick, Lick, Lick Ever wondered how surf photographers get such clear images of surfers ^W not a drop of water on the camera lens? The trick, I've recently found out, is to lick, lick your camera lens. Saliva, it seems, is the key. Apparently, when you've done it a lot the lens holds a coating and an occasional top up is all that's needed. Found on http://www.nswseakayaker.asn.au/magazine/49/skills.htm and looks like it works with my Canon underwater camera housing :-) Art *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

A quick wipe with a microfiber lens cleaning cloth will get rid of those last few drops on the window on the camera housing. I've been carrying a Nikonos for years as a kayak camera, and now carry a Canon A60 in a diving housing. mike -------------------------- Michael Edelman mje_at_spamcop.net http://foldingkayaks.org http://findascope.com http://kittysaysmoo.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
