How many times did I wish I'd had my camera within reach? Countless. Good idea Beckie Boo!

That also makes it easier to take pics in the rain... there are some awesome photo ops in a mild sprinkle. And if you have a camera with long or add-on zoom lenses, cut a hole in the baggie. I've done it before, with no repercussions.

What a good idea!

Excellent idea. Mine is usually in my pocket but I do worry when it's damp.... and in Southwest Florida, it's almost always damp!

I bet that it would help keep the crazy humidity out. Whenever the camera leaves the air conditioning it gets fogged-over and it probably gets inside, too. (I am so tired of high humidity)

I understand that with things like cameras & binoculars in high humidity areas or drastic temp. changes (A/C to outside) you're supposed to bring them outside in a case or such (plastic baggies will do) & let them adjust a little while so the moisture doesn't accumulate inside & do damage. So this idea would serve that purpose as well as keeping it handy for your photo ops.

Great tip! I keep mine on the patio table. No worry about rain for many, many days, but I'll remember your tip for when it eventually rains.

Now I NEED to follow that one.................. You don't know how many times I've been out weeding, planting or rearranging and found a perfect pic of a butterfly or a bird or a bee, etc. in around or in my gardens and I run real quick for the camera that I can NEVER find only to get back out there camera in had and the photo is lost to the world. Never to be recorded for I can't see to have my camera close by or even know where I left it THIS time.

Now to just remember the tip............Adult attention deficit disorder here. It is NOT old age.....................

I have a dedicated camera pocket (cargo jeans) and if it's not there (really rare), it's attached to my purse handle in a quality case.

GREAT tip

Good idea However knowing me, I'd set it down and forget where...there have been times when I have to call my cell to find it and I have yet to figure out how to make the camera ring definately challenged here

I just whip out my trusty cellphone camera. Got it after I bought two new cameras, which are now sitting somewhere in a drawer....

But that baggie idea is a keeper, seeing as I keep destroying my camera phone with condensation buildup from sticking it into an item of personal clothing, close to my skin, when I make a beeline for the yard and don't have pockets....

@ Linda that won't work for me....I'm usually nekked under the tee shirt and men's boxer briefs that on me look like shorts

TMI Ginger! LOL!

Great tip! With the baggie, I can fish it out if I drop it in the pond too before damage occurs. Now if they would make a bubblewrap baggie so it would cushion a fall on the rocks!

Add your own bubblewrap inside the baggie - -just use a baggie slightly larger than actually needed :)



(btw, resealable baggies are also a great way to enjoy your kindle while soaking in the tub)

Great tip! I'm foreverso losing my camera in the garden. It will sparkle if its wrapped in plastic

After washing my camera in the washing machine that I had left in my pocket , I bought a waterproof one. I don't like it 's features as much as my old waterlogged one though. Baggie is a great idea! I don't know if anyone remembers the story of the lady who caught the purse snatcher b/c she had her phone in her bra...Well,I tried it once but I agree...way too much condensation!

LOL, great story, Anna!
I like the idea of the lens being un-fogged in the plastic--that is so frustrating when you see a great photo op. and you miss it because the darned lens keeps fogging. Thanks!

I was away due to the death of my computer...back again finally~

Glad you all enjoyed the tip...it's been a bonus to me so I don't ruin cell phones plus with my software program, I can crop.

Great idea. I always sally forth in the early morning with my camera looking for photos.
The plastic bag is a good idea.
