Y Mens’ Calendar II

Most of this project was shot during the winter. And our most recent was probably the most winterish in 30 years, meaning it was cold and snowy. A lot. It is only a 5 minute drive from my residence to the Y and for the most part I had no issues with the equipment getting cold enough on the ride there to fog once indorrs. I knew I was shooting in the pool which was nice and humid. Arrived early, or at least I thought early enough to allow the equipment to acclimate. Nope. It wasn’t long enough. As soon as Richard arrived and got in position the lens fogged up.

As Richard treaded water in the deep end, (well, I hope he swam some laps), I took the camera and lens to the locker room where a convenient hair dryer quickly took care of the fog issue.
