You just try to be really fast.

A bit of water won't hurt a camera (within reason), but I just try to
minimise the amount. In a case like this where I couldn't shield the
camera with my hat, I just tried to be as fast as possible getting the
shots I needed and then quickly got back into the car where I dried the
camera before retracting the lens.

A great shot Graham, wondering how you keep the camera dry?

Yes Dave. I am lurking, but very slowly.

Here is a photo of the falcatus from the roof of my car. Note the drops
of water on the flower. It was not the only thing wet as it started to
rain heavily just as I climbed on the car roof. The things you do...

A bit high up for a good pic - this was a tele shot.

Graham Corbin - are you lurking? I seem to recall you standing on top of
your
car to get a closeup - it would be far better than this, and one of the
ladies
(Sue? or Wendy?) really likes S. falcatus if I remember correctly.
