Ask Photo Flo Advice Column originally appeared in the Central Ky Camera Club Newsletter as an Ann Lander's type advice column for photographers.

Photo Flo My alter ego advice columnist for the Central KY Camera Club. A tip of the lens cap to Jaime Robles.

Dear Photo Flo,
I recently spent a Saturday afternoon photographing in “the field.” Unfortunately, a downpour almost soaked my camera equipment! How can I prevent this?

My Dear Dampened,
Ever since McCroy’s dime store closed in downtown Lexington, I haven’t been able to find those nifty clear plastic rain bonnets anywhere! They sure came in handy. Those weather reports are so unreliable. You don’t want rain to ruin your hairdo OR your camera equipment. I suggest taking along some large garbage bags. They are lightweight and don’t take up much space. It’s easy to whisk them out and cover your equipment and yourself in a minute. Punch a hole in one and wear it as a poncho. It’s thrifty, too! Which leaves more money to spend on camera equipment. Happy photographing!
Signed, Photo Flo
