Ok, trip to Pensacola FL. I made the mistake of taking my camera from my cool and dry a/c room to a hot and humid outdoors. Yes I know..... my bad Fogged up inside and out. Really bad. I knew better as i know to store my telescope in my garage never a air conditioned enviroment.

So my question is; now what do I do now to not make matters worst?

Hey Ed, not sure if you are there or not still. If this is recent, I would put your gear in a bag of rice to make sure it dries out completely. Mold can grow inside the lens.

If you are already back home, you still might try the rice if it's recent.

That's too bad it fogged up, it happens to us all at one time or another I think.

I put my camera on the dash and from seat = hells kitchen lol so it seemed to dry out ok.

But my other question is, how do you guys manage a shoot when you are inside, then have to go outside like a wedding or bday party etc?

I avoid Florida... that's my solution. ;)

I haven't had that issue. Now Minnesota can get really humid in the summer, I wonder if @Bob Israel has had to deal with that?
