Looks like bad weather

Things are so hectic around here at the moment I've barely got time to post new material. But no excuses! Here's a shot to continue the set from the previous two images. Taken in the dunes near Seabruges just as the weather is starting to turn bad. I'm happy the D300 has semi decent weather sealing compared to the D50. Not that I'd leave it outside in the rain or anything, but at least it can take a bit of dusty wind.

Tip of the day: carry a few extra plastic bags with your camera gear. Make sure you have quick access to it in case bad weather suddenly hits. A lot of camera bags are supposed to have weather sealing, but I personally don't really trust it. Having a plastic bag or two at hand to wrap the camera in in case of an emergency puts my mind at ease.
