Winter is coming… And winter gives us opportunities to capture great shots. Especially for landscape and nature photographers.But it also brings some problems with it, such as foggy lenses
When you go out in winter time, due to rapid change in temperature, lens of the camera can get foggy. You can not take good pictures with a foggy lens unless you deliberately want it to be foggy in order to create a certain effect. Wiping the lens is a common mistake. Do not do it!
Why not to Wipe the thin water layer on the lens?
- You can damage your lens and scratch it.
- If you try to wipe it off, you’ll smudge it! Which is not good also. Because when you smudge the water on your lens it will leave stains as it dries up and it will be really hard to get rid of them.
How to get rid of Fog on the Lens?
- There’s a simple yet effective solution; just wait! Wait a couple of minutes and the optics will adjust to the new tempereature. As a result the fog will disappear with time. That’s all, all you need to do is doing nothing…
