p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Want a not-too-expensive way to protect my D300 on long timelapses | |
Recently I started doing time-lapse sequences with my D300 and D800. At first I was just interested in artsy stuff. But as an avid vegetable gardener I discovered it was a great way to ID woodchucks and other critters predating my garden while I'm at work and to figure out how they were defeating my fencing.
But now I want to try to shoot other animals. Where I live I get woodchucks, racoons, foxes, skunks, deer, fishercats, coyotes, rabbits, and even occasional bears in my yard. So I thought it would be fun to set up my camera to run automatically overnight to shoot time-lapse sequences at night or at dawn, to photograph and study these critters.
The main thing I'm worried about is dew. What kind of a housing can I get or make that will protect my camera from damage from dew condensation? Typically I'd be shooting this with either a wide-angle or very short tele - the biggest lens I would probably use would be the Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8 which is about 8" long.
Do I need a full, sealed underwater housing?
Thanks in advance.
