Whoah! Was that a whale off the port bow? You’re not sure, but one thing is for sure; you’re ready for when it reappears. Camera poised, not even the cold wind and spray can put you off as it soaks into your ear and runs down your hands. There again! Click… got it. Fantastic shot: even if you are sitting in a canoe off the coast and your DSLR is always to hand, it’s still rare to get whales come so close. Can’t wait to get it emailed to the club.
 Tips from a Pro: To Disperse Water Droplets on the Lens: Most Pros use Rain-X. The guys in Maui use half an onion and rub it on the lens. But my personal favourite is to use waterproof sunscreen - the higher the factor the better. When you dip the lens just lift it clear of the water and blow the droplets off.
Opening/Closing: Never EVER open the case with wet hands. Only ever insert/remove the camera with the case completely upside down, with the opening at the bottom.
Taking shots: Rather than shooting in normal style of looking at what you see through the view finder, start shooting at what you are pointing the camera at you will get the hang of it. Feel free to look at the images on my site under kite-surfing and see the results we get.

Will I really get good photos through the plastic?
Yes! The special hard section on the case is optically-clear. And the sturdy but flexible material allows you to operate all the camera controls.
Ok, not every photo is going to be perfect. But we're all used to that aren't we! Most of the time nobody will be able to tell you were using a case.
