DIY: Dry Box

 

We all want to keep our precious cameras & lenses in prestine condition. As we all know lenses & cameras don't come cheap and its our life & soul when it comes to photography... whether film or digital.

 

Cameras (digital, mechanical, and video) are very sensitive to humidity and mold. Once mold starts growing, it will erode deep inside the lens, making it unusable.In general, most molds grow when humidity is higher than 60%RH.

 

To prevet this kind of mold from growing, the application of dry box storage is very common.

 

'Dry Boxes' comes in different sizes... from small Cabinets thats costs from around 5K

I know... we're not as rich as these guys so the solution would be to Do It Yourself! :cool:

 

What we need are air-tight containers such as those pics below...

just remember to keep the Relative Humidity of your box to about 30-50% and that should do you well :hypocritesmiley:

Not the most interesting of subjects but I just want our resident experts to give their commentary on composition and the shallow Depth of Field effect that I was trying to create. Don't worry, I got my flame suit on so don't hold back.

Great picture! Very clear details! Did you attach the camera to a telescope? If not, what lens did you use - a 300mm?

How do I put my signature in my digital pictures to avoid theft when I post it in my blog?..

 

use a program for creating watermarks...

 

That's the right term for a "signature" on a picture

[Phrozhen.Khold]

If you're using Photoshop...

 

Use the text tool to type in your 'signature'

Go to the 'Layers' panel

Select the opacity/transparency amount that you like

I would've shot this from a different angle which may make this a little bit more interesting. I guess the subject is too near to the wall to create a good DOF.

A darker feel would have also added a deft touch. IMO.

 

Still a nice one bro. Keep it up!
