no pics for a while
« on: August 11, 2013, 01:01:21 pm »
 I messed up at 2:30 this am.  I wanted to take video of the meteor shower, so I took the camera out side, turned it on,hit record and came in and went back to bed. woke up at 5:30 and it was pouring rain. I have had it in front of the fan all day. it dryed out but when I take a pic  half the pic is black. Just paid 125.00 for it july 8.  And didn't even have a meteor shower. :'(  I wont be able to get another for about 2 wks now. I'll keep looking at your sight tho.  Just thought i'd tell you  my sad story :'( :'(

I have that one I used when I first got on here ,but it sucks. I am going to try to record the meteor shower tonight if it happens this time with it. Just wont leave it out side. My bf leaves for work at 2:30 am so i'll be up. Maybe I can get some good video on it although the pics suck. I'll just stand on my back steps next to the door incase some thing trys to grab me ;D

A bag of uncooked rice normally does the trick for things like that, or those little bags of silica gel.

You may think you've dried it but it could still be damp inside

The rice works with phones and most cameras.

We are having a hail storm right now and lots of electrical cloud to ground lightening!!!  Gorgeous but deadly.  Gotta' love Texas weather!
