LENS FOGGING

CHALLENGE:

When moving between environments of different temperatures, lens fogging is a common problem. Streaking can occur when attempting to remove condensation, slowing down the photographic process.

SOLUTION:

It is best to avoid fogging occurring at all, rather than attempting to remove it once it’s happened. Before moving into a warmer or cooler environment, place the lens in an insulated bag with silica gel, which will allow it to acclimatise more slowly, with reduced moisture.
