Avoiding water drops on your camera water housing

The dreaded water droplets, destined to ruin even the best water shot. In this hopefully brief post I hope to help you overcome and avoid getting water drops on your lens when taking surf and water shots.

Now this is a problem that goes back as far as water photography has been around. The feeling of disappoint you get after a solid session swimming in some heavy surf against some ridiculous currents, you finally think you have some epic cover worthy shots, then you get to the beach anxious to pull the camera out the housing and review your images, only to discover all the best shots have water drops in frame, and always in the worst possible places, it is just indescribable.

Commercial Products

Now there are a few ways around this, a lot of products are on the market which claim to dispel water from lenses and goggles etc. Now when it comes to surf photography these products don’t always produce the desired result, they may prevent a film or larger drops collecting but they generally cause the water to bead up and you still sometimes get those dreaded in image water drops.
