I'm in Portland as well- I remember it being sunny yesterday...I wear my camera over my shoulder, then a large weather-proof coat over that. Leave the coat open and pull the camera up to shoot. If it's really nasty out, I wear the camera around my neck and zip up the coat and unzip slightly and pull the camera up to shoot. Wear a large brim cowboy hat to shelter the camera from the rain - use a lens hood on the lens instead of a filter for protection
Don't use wide guitar style straps.In a pinch, a disposable hotel shower cap can make a great camera raincoat, but I prefer the techniques above.

So, it's a rainy day in Portland (big surprise there...) and I thought about going out to shoot, but I have never come up with a good way to protect the camera (Nikon F4) in the rain, without making handling the camera cumbersome.What do others use to shield their gear from the elements?====================================================================== ======================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
