Do It Yourself Rain Gear!

How to make your own rain cover for free!

As seen on the Digital Camera website.

Being caught out in the field when the heavens open isn't good for camera gear. Fear not, keep a clear plastic bag handy and follow our guide to help you carry on shooting when the heavens open.

1. Bag it Take off your lens hood and place the bag over the lens so that a corner covers it and makes a cone shape.	2. Cut it Keeping the bag taut, use your fingernail to rub the edge of the bag so it cuts it perfectly to the lens shape.	3. Hood up Refit your lens hood taking care to make sure the bag doesn’t move and cover any part of the front element.
4. Eye eye All SLR cameras have a removeable eye-cup. Take it off and pull the bag over it so the open end faces down.	5. Manhandle Pinch or tear a small hole using your fingernail and pull it tight so it sits snugly around the eye-cup surround.	6. Refit Place the eye-cup back over the mount so the bag sits in between the camera body and the eye-cup. Done!

How to add Dyxum Lens Review Search to Firefox

Thanks to

spirion.photography

for posting this little tool.

This might be of interest to my fellow eBay addicts who spend a lot of time reading
reviews on Dyxum.com while looking for bargains. The steps below
will allow you to add a custom search to the built in search bars in
Firefox or Internet Explorer 7. This is just a tip, I don't endorse or make any guarantees of
any kind with this. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

To do this I went to this site: http://ready.to/search/en/#

Entered the following:

1) Search Name: "Dyxum"

2) Front of Search: www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=

3) Back of Search: +site%3Adyxum.com&btnG=Search

4) Description: Dyxum Lens Reviews

5) Option XML: (leave blank)

6) Paste all of this text into "image text" box on the right of the page:

9) Follow the prompts from your browser

EDIT:

10) Click the "Open Search Plug-in" Link and it should prompt you to install it.

11) Click the down arrow on the search box and select the "D"

Worked for me and I hope it works for you!



Click the "Open Search Plug-in" Link and it should prompt you to install it. I'm using Firefox 3 just as an FYI.

Let teachers and priests and philosophers brood
over questions of reality and illusion.
I know this: if life is an illusion, then I
am no less an illusion, and being thus, the
illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I
love, I slay, and I am content.
(Robert E. Howard, Queen of the Black Coast, Weird Tales, May 1934)
