Cameras at Burning Man

I get regular questions about how to protect your camera equipment at Burning Man.  Here are some points about that:

• I use a backup (3rd) camera.  I mostly just pull out a micro 4/3rds camera and never change the lens.  It’s kind of a challenge, but a good challenge!
• If you have to change lenses, well, don’t.
• If you MUST change lenses, try to do it indoors… in a car or in an RV of some non-dirty hippy.
• If you want to use your main camera, it’s good to weatherproof it with a baggie and tape… but the little dust will still get in.
• Or, really, just follow my first bullet point and use a backup-backup camera and don’t worry so much! 🙂

Daily Photo – Sandstorm at Burning Man

The sandstorms come fast and furious. I was out in the middle of one as it blew across the playa. I was on my bike at the time, so it was easy to get around and find good perspectives of the temple as the sun was setting.
