Very dry outside. I used this method after I got sick and tired with
fogging.
Dust was a big issue at Davis which has a large ice free area.
The old PHD camera is great for happy snaps.
You have to bring the camera in sooner or later, or the skuas and penguins
will make off with it. The only reasons our beers stayed put was they were
too big.

I'd be tempted to take a Stylus/Mju or Yashica T5 for indoor shots and
leave the OM in the porch! Pretty dry outside there isn't it Foxy - but
nice and cosy and humid inside?
