July 27 - Wet, wet, wet.

Quick post for now, maybe add more details later

This is in Tsing Yi area of Hong Kong. This was the wettest, most humid day I've ever experienced. I took my camera out of the bag, and the lens immediately fogged. I waited 20 minutes (with the camera out), still foggy. Wiped the lens. Fog reappeared. This is like trying to shave in the shower, except that I don't wonder about the condition of a $800 sensor, lens fungus, or any other potentially expensive issue when a mirror fogs in the shower.

I'm used to taking a cold camera indoors after dry, cold, Central Oregon winter shots. Just stick it in a plastic bag and wait for the temperature to equilibrate. Not so used to taking the camera out of a camera bag at essentially the same temperature, and dealing with 200% humidity. Advice from any sage travel photographers?

Anyway, I bumped up the contrast and sharpness for the post on this shot, and this is a little more like what I could see before putting eye to viewfinder.

I love the contrast between the modern industrial skyscraper, the guy fishing from a yellow raft (we call 'em K-Mart Coffins in SAR), and the stark matching apartments that you see everywhere in HK.
