Owning a DSLR means that you are no stranger to changing the lens . And more often than not, the change occurs somewhere in the field (unless you are a studio photographer), meaning that your DSLR is vulnerable to potential hazards caused by dust and elements. So here are a few tips to help you prevent some the hazards your DSLR camera might be exposed to. First, and most important, never, and i repeat, NEVER leave the open camera body facing straight up . In that case, it is as if you were inviting dust to fall inside your camera. The best way to change the lens is to tilt the open DSLR body to face downwards while you are changing the lens. Second, do not leave your DSLR camera body open for long . That also might be pushing your luck. You do not have to rush though, as you might (like me) drop the lens while rushing. Fortunately for me the lens ended up on my bed, but I learned this valuable lesson the cheap way. Second time i may not be so lucky. Final tip, if you are in any...
