在恶劣气候下保护相机的5个技巧

 在恶劣气候下保护相机的5个技巧

Kenneth Campbell

是的,户外摄影取决于大自然的情绪。 当然,在街上、在雨中、在农场或在泥屋里都有可能拍出好的(伟大的!)照片。 但是,相机呢? 它如何在这一切中间发挥作用?

有些相机部件非常敏感,必须小心谨慎。 水、沙子甚至极端温度都会损坏设备。 摄影师Anne McKinnell住在拖车里,在美国各地拍摄,她给出了一些在不同气候环境下如何最好地保护设备的建议。

1. 湿度

不管是下雨还是潮湿,潮湿的环境是你相机的头号敌人,也是闪光灯、镜头和其他配件的敌人。 而霉菌喜欢潮湿。 为你的相机准备一个防雨罩和保护装置,有一次性的和可重复使用的版本。 如果你很匆忙,一个不可降解的塑料市场袋会有帮助。

确保所有覆盖相机入口的橡胶端口(如传输线等)都是密封的。 保持一块干净的干布,以擦去任何凝结在相机外部的水。 在你存放相机的地方保留几包硅胶(以及密封罐中的防霉产品)。 这将减少湿度和发霉的风险。

2.雨

最坏的情况是:如果水落入相机内部,你不能太过小心。 取出镜头,尽量观察哪些部分。 取出电池和存储卡,打开所有的门和其他折叠物。 将相机朝上,镜头朝下放在热源附近(当然不能太热),让水从开口处蒸发。 不太敏感的配件(如镜头盖、布带)可以放在干燥的米袋里,这样可以吸收多余的水分。 你越早把相机交给技术员越好。

3. 酷热或寒冷

大多数相机的工作温度在-10到40℃之间。 这是因为电池的原因--当电池达到极端温度时,其内部的化学物质就会停止正常工作。 为了避免这个问题,请将一块额外的电池放在有温度控制的地方。 如果你在一个非常寒冷的地方拍摄,将一块电池放在你的口袋里,通过你的体温取暖。热,摄影包必须提供足够的阴凉处,以保持电池有足够的温度来操作。

切勿将相机面朝上放在阳光直射的地方。 镜头可以像放大镜一样,将太阳光集中在你的相机上,在快门上烧出一个洞,最终烧毁图像传感器。

4.沙子

这可能是设备故障最常见的原因,甚至比潮湿更常见。 每个人都想带着他们的相机去海滩(或者也许是沙漠)。 但要注意:沙子到处都是。 最好的情况是,它可能被困在镜头里,导致图像污损。 最坏的情况是,它会进入齿轮内部,严重损坏它们。活动部件,如快门或自动对焦电机;或刮伤镜头、传感器等。 沙子是相机的一个危险的敌人。 所有的相机,专业的和紧凑的。

确保你的相机上的橡胶垫非常密封,并且在不使用时,总是将你的设备存放在一个封闭的袋子里,远离沙子。 一个保护性的Mackintosh也可以帮助保持你的相机没有碎片。 如果沙子进入或离开你的设备,不要用布擦拭它。 这可能使情况变得更糟,划伤组件(或取而代之的是使用手持式气泵。 避免使用压缩空气,因为压缩空气非常强烈,含有可能造成损害的化学物质。 如果你没有其他选择,你可以吹气,但要非常小心,不要最终扔出唾液颗粒。

5.风

强风除了带来前一项--沙子,还能吹动三脚架,把你的相机扔到地上,造成不可估量的损失。 在大风天,如果你需要使用三脚架,用重物来保持稳定。 可以是一个铅重物,一袋密封良好的沙子,一袋石头等。 在恶劣的天气里,也可以拍出好照片。 只要确保你在拍摄的同时也要照顾好你的设备。
