Comment by Dustin Brown on May 9, 2012 at 15:57: Haha nice, thanks for all the advice!!!

Comment by Alan van Gysen on May 9, 2012 at 15:35: Bru I use Windowleen (spelling?) That blue spray bottle you use to clean windows. You can get it at any grocery store. It is ammonia based, so cleans, absorbs and then evaporates. I spray a little on a clean cloth, then wipe my camera and lenses down, and then using another clean cloth rub any excess off. Great for salt and other oily dirt. Good luck

Comment by Dustin Brown on May 9, 2012 at 15:31: Ah thanks AVG... I'll be more mindful of moisture next time... Thanks also for the advice on heat, all new knowledge for me, wasn't sure how it effected the housing... Much appreciated!!! What would you recommend for cleaning the housing? I've been using alchohol swabs?

Comment by Alan van Gysen on May 9, 2012 at 14:59: Ok cool Dustin. Ya those drying agents help a little, but not entirely. I would suggest cleaning the inside of the housing and/or the camera, and making sure there is no moisture inside your camera for any reason, especially if it is old. Any water inside will heat up in the warmer waters of Durban and fog up inside. Also be sure if it is a housing, that you do not have any wet fingers or hands when you set it up on the beach. Lastly, keep the camera in the shade on the car ride to the beach and definitely while on the beach. Take it straight from the shade to the water. That should help unless you have water inside your camera itself.

Good luck

Comment by Dustin Brown on May 9, 2012 at 14:44: Hi AVG, I've had condensation problems in the past also.

I've been using those drying agents you get in shoe boxes to help with the problem.

Hadn't used camera in a while, so perhaps need a new one? Also noticed the camera battles a bit in bad light and it was an early session? Thanks for the help...

Comment by Alan van Gysen on May 9, 2012 at 14:39: Hi Dustin, great photographs, but it looks like you had some condensation problems. Was there something on your lens while you shot this session? Or did the inside fog up? Hope I can help for future sessions. Keep it up
