[bpbduncan]

Beaching in black T and Jeans. Nice.

[acrorrusd]

I live on the Gulf Coast of Florida, and I ahve to keep my Gear in the bed of my truck in Summer Months. Otherwise my lens' look like a London Fog Factory LOL.

[flylikeacg]

omg where is this place?!?!?!?!

[Voxnulla]

What an ugly lens for video.

[mazdaspeed1828]

Jared when are u coming back to st pete beach i live 5 min from were u are sitting lol

[macktysontv]

Is this a Fisheye lens?

[undefeated1000]

@macktysontv probably a 10mm lens

[pokemon00845]

lol @those people staring, oh people its as if they never saw someone shooting a video

[FloppyHatPhotos]

Just don't use the A/C in your room. If your rooms 105 and the beach is 105 you can shoot strait away.

[illusionistprime]

Just had that experience from our hotel room which was 64 degrees then went to the beach.... just this Aug 5, 2011. What I did was while in the hotel room I wrapped my camera with some soft cloth while inside my lowepro 200aw so far it prevented from condensation. I guess having it insulated worked. But my sister's camera was like whoa!!! so Foggy!!!

[detestosu]

Fro knows the Bitch ! :)

[Hellstudio1]

how can I make a normal photo to a 8x10 or 6x4 etc... I use photoshop, but I can't make the proper size. need help!!!

[vnk956]

@jaredpolin:dude dont knw how to thank u...got my first dslr NIKON D3100 (ya !!she surely is sweet) just cos my dad was imprsd by ur video

thnxs mate

[chaseMiles86]

somone once told me if you put your gear in a plastic grocery bag it will stop the condensation, havent had a chance to try this as its not getting to humid here in canada yet!

[derrickjschwieters]

0:59-Chick check'n Jared out. Ha

[theheidis]

I took some pictures on a cold windy day, I was only out for about 5 minutes, and when I got back to the car - beads of water formed on the uv filter...is that condensation because my car was warmer than outside, and is it ok? Did I hurt my camera? Did the camera get wet inside too? There seems to be nothing wrong with it at all, but it worried me since I've never had this happen before.

[lindseyb1987]

Thank you, I had that problem not to long ago going into a humid butterfly house.

:) I'll wait around for a while next time until it clears.

[Exupery1976]

Can you make a tutorial about how to put the camera strap around your neck?

[movania89]

what lens are u using for this video?

[tiggyspawn]

@movania89 he said @1:20, he's using the nikon 14-24 2.8

[TexPhoto]

Living in Puerto Rico this is a constant problem. One thing we do is put the camera bag into a cooler when going indoors, to keep it warm. And of course in the car as well, an A/Ced car can be colder than a building. Also put the camera bag outside on the balconey to aclimate. In an emergency; hey there goes Big Foot, and the front element is fogged, you can place your palm on the front element to warm it, then wipe it off with a good lens cloth. Never change lenses when the camera is fogged

[JaredPolin]

@Zaneathankid i dont use them. 

[necro101]

dude I think the word your looking for is acclimatised....

[TheTutorialsDaily]

@necro101 Your word is good but his also works.... as acclimated means accustomed, adapted or hardened to some environment

[AgnusDei0fire]

once i heard that if you put your lens and/or your camera into a plastic bag... at the moment of taking it out to a change of temperature.... causes the water in the ambient to condensate in the plastic bag and not inside the lens...... you should try it......

[BIGE2333]

Hey Jared good tips bro, u live in Florida? If so around where asking cause I'm located in fort lauderdale, man would love to shoot as like your intern to learn man lol or any recommendation brother , thanks in advance , Eric

[midipot]

same situation here in the hot hot desert in Dubai! i used to wipe the condensation off with a soft cloth..now i know and i wont wipe and just wait...

[setosail]

I Hope you are taking so many photos while you are at the beach.

[itsmeeeeeeeeeee]

The solution to this problem is easy. It works even when you want to suddenly go into a closed bathroom and shoot photos there. The bathroom air is more humid. If you want to go to a beach just put your camera in a large plastic bag (like a large dustbin liner) go to the beach, wait 7-8 minutes , take the camera out and start shooting. No problem with condensation or vapour fog!

[analyticalw]

I just had an issue with this. Only thing was I wasn't outside. I used my air duster for my computer to clean my lens and the cold air from the can fogged up my lens as if I had just transitioned to new weather that the lens didn't know of. I tried to wipe it clean and part of the fogged up lens is still there. I thought I ruined the lens! lol, but now that I saw this I realize it might of been the same reaction,,,or am I mistaken?

[MrJubblegum]

D5000 or D3100 for first DSLR?

[JaredPolin]

@MrJubblegum 3100

[chopper82p]

@JaredPolin why not d5000?

[JaredPolin]

@chopper82p d3100 replaces it!!! 

[BiB1304]

@JaredPolin i read something about the built quality of the d5000 is better than the d3100?.. is that true? in your oppinion jared. we want to know it from u.

[JaredPolin]

@BiB1304 It may be slightly better as its bigger but really all gear is susceptible to breaking if you drop it you know what i mean? Use it enjoy it it has a new sensor so have fun.

[BiB1304]

@JaredPolin thanx for the info fro.. keep up the good work..

[rensper]

@JaredPolin Yeah that's for sure but d5000 got the picture quality!!!

[timberswiss3]

@JaredPolin how about the d5100?

[TheTutorialsDaily]

@MrJubblegum Canon Eos Rebel T2i

[ramanan86]

you are awesome!! thank-you for all the insight and well articulated information :)

[kiddoempoy]

happened to me twice... and already learned this lesson.. =)

[pabsoul]

Dude you're like my God now! I like you very much man :)

[mipmipmipmipmip]

I live in europe, and the problem is the other way around. I go outside in winter, walk a few streets, get in to a pub. The pub is warm and a bit humid due to all the people, the lens is cold from outside, and the next hour or so, the lens AND the viewfinder show nothing but fog. Cleaning doesn't help much, within a minute it'll be foggy again. The whole equipment has to get the same temperature as the environment, only patience helps...

[JaredPolin]

@videokanta you just import them, we do have a video on that somewhere but yea i just drag the folder into light room and than hit import.

[tombarkerphotography]

@JaredPolin our lenses are tools not children ;)

[lopezae33]

that guy walked by and looked at you like you were some kind of ratard

[GMSamuelRhine]

@lopezae33 lol

[Forkroute]

The sand is so shiny

[tombarkerphotography]

You can get an anti fog solution designed just for lenses, usually one use lasts for a full day.

[JaredPolin]

@tombarkerphotography I wouldn't put anything on my lenses i rather wait the time.

[GrimsditchImages]

One trick is to put equipment in an air-tight plastic bag before going outside. Things will warm up faster in the plastic bag (rather than in an insulated camera bag) and no condensation will form because the air in the bag is dry.

[Wagsization]

Another great Video. Condensation can be a real pain with the lens when going from an Air-con hotel room to outside, especially in the tropics :)

[hellolauratube]

wow that scene looks perfect

[malalark]

the beach in this video makes me jealous of the fro guru...

[Eagle1337]

Jared you forgot about silica gel, as it'll absorb water in the air.

[Valleboi07]

HA Awesome!! That wide angle lens makes you look like the HULK !! 

[catalystman]

good post Jared, short and sweet.

I was looking at a review of Zeiss 50mm ƒ/1.4 T* Planar ZF.2 (because I'm looking for a new portrait lens for a DX format camera and am not too fond of Nikkor options available) and apparently the manufacturer recommends 20 minutes of hold time in the camera bag to get used to the environment before using!

[deadkennedys909]

Jared! I need your help, sigma 70-200 f/2.8 or the nikon 70-200 f/2.8 vr i (1) I know theres a couple hundred in price diffrence but what would better in the long run? I am shooting mostly longer distance boats on the water shots and night time club shots.

[JaredPolin]

@deadkennedys909 in that case nikon all the way!!!

[heuykiller]

Its freezing cold here in Sweden :(

[PumaM90]

@heuykiller its getting kind of cold now here in California, USA.

[FIBBLENUGGET]

Very useful tip.... and whoa!! You're in Florida? Come over my house for dinner, lol

[stefanDMS]

Thats why i use the UV filter or the ND filter... Just to protect the lens, and as we all know filters are way cheaper than lenses. Thanks, Jared!

[JaredPolin]

@stefanDMS I still dont use filters because filters are cheaper than lenses lol. I dont want to take away from the quality of the high end glass but thats me, on a beach its not a terrible idea to use. 

[blackxthink]

@JaredPolin

it can be a good sacrifice to spend $15 for an ok uv filter

rather than scratching a $1000 lens :P

[JaredPolin]

@blackxthink I prefer the quality still figure i bought great glass dont want to cut down on the quality but of course the scratching is a risk.

[MrJubblegum]

Yay :]
