Great episode Fabian, the monkeys didn't seem to be too concerned with you getting close ! Yes, the lens condensation can be a drama, I'm not sure there's much you can do as it seems to be an environmental change thing. It happens occasionally to me in the tropics, it sometimes happens after an hour or so in the morning, so it's not a sudden change ie going from aircon to outside. It's frustrating and nothing you can do till it clears up by itself....I often wonder what damage it's doing to the lens....Safe travels !!!
Hi Fabian, thanks for the educational video - some lovely footage/images of the shore birds from the low down perspective. Hope the gear is all ok now!
Try vinegar for the mould. Apparently it kills it more effectively than bleach and you don't run the risk of discolouring your materials etc. I have used it here on my gutters many times after a mould problem in my paint. Excellent series from your trip there, informative and enjoyable content as always! Safe trip home.
I live in the Tropics and humidity and temperature gradients are always a problem. At high humidity levels even bringing a lens into the slightly hotter outside after a night in a house without AC will result in some condensation. I will sometimes put my camera and lenses in sealed plastic bags with the air squeezed out so they warm up without being in the humid warm air. It's the opposite of skiing in your country, coming into the warm interior of a hut on the slopes from minus 5 has the same effect, leave your gear in sealed off bags.. For clothes in the tropics in the humid season, get the hotel to put them in the tumble drier. Cotton especially never dries quickly. Anyway some nice shoreline images today, thanks for uploading.

The monkeys tried to find food in the backpacks 😅 We didn’t habe any, so they didn’t stay very long

Thanks for the tip! Some lodges didn’t have a laundry service unfortunately, but overall we managed 😊
