Danish news photographer after a shoot in a muddy environment ;-)

WOW. he is one brave fellow.
Maybe he borrowed his buddies cameras?

frustrated Nikonian in Canon clothing?

News photographer - probably not his gear then

Tough being a political photojournalist.

+1 (lots of mud throwing)..

Okay... now THAT is impressive to me. A simple acceptance of the camera equipment as a disposable tool required to do a job. That event must've been a hoot for all involved. The nearly submerged chaps in the mud look to be having the times of their lives Great series. Kudos to the photographer.

It seems it broke his colour though.

Just don't let him send that 5D2 to Antarctica--might get wet.

Is that a sock hanging out of his pocket?

as a 5D2 owner, i'd love to see a followup on how long that 5D2 keeps working. place your bets.

I think we should take reviews less seriously - the Nikonians have found that out from Ken.

Hope that he had a filter on that ultrawide so that he can hose it off without fear. He should be able to gently wash off the 1-series, but I recommend a damp cloth approach on the 5D2. I don't know that it's as willing to accept rinsing as the 1.

That would be a "clean day" for me after shooting motocross in the mud! I slipped, fell, and landed on one of my 1 series bodies at Budds Creek. The entire body, 70-200 and all, was completely submerged in a foot of mud. It made that sound like toilet plunger when I pulled it out. I wiped it off, changed the filter, and kept shooting without missing a beat. I think it's funny the way some FM'ers baby their gear.

those crazy Danes

My guess is as long as he owns the camera.

Note to self: Do not ever buy any gear from Jacob Ehrbahn.

The 1d should be fine no problem
damn things are tanks!
mud shmud canons can take anything
I put my 5d all the way under water and it still works fine just needed a bit of drying.
doug

I wonder if he uses UV Filters?

I don't know what race he was shooting but it looks amazing!!! I would definitely fly out there to compete in that race.

Unfortunately for most mere mortals, we are not financially gifted enough like you to consider expensive camera gear as "disposable tools"

Going to need a few pec pads

Pictures like this should be cross posted to the Nikon forums.

I had to shoot an outdoor wedding in a thunderstorm the other day
glad my 1Ds was sealed. I had my 40D hanging on my side but i dared not touch a button until it was DRY
I think rain / water would be worse than "solid" mud..but thats me..

wow how do you clean that
