There's a Holi festival on Saturday and people throw colored powder. I want to take a surreal photo of the event (colors flying in freeze action) and also a portrait photo. But before I get to that, I'm wondering ... how do I protect my body and lens?? Should I get a transparent plastic bag over my camera body? What about the lens? I am using a UV filter so if powder gets on that, should I have my lens cleaner liquid and cloth handy to wipe it off and snap again? A photo like this is ideal (for surreal?) http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mc46p7Xtw01qkn79do1_500.jpg i'm just worried about my lens ...
Also, I was hoping for general tips for the festival to capture both a surreal photo and a portrait photo.
For the portrait, I have an idea to capture 1-3 people in the midst of the festival celebrating ... kinda like them in focus, background blurred as the colors fly? Any tips?
For the surreal photo (still new to surrealism so any other ideas, I'd love to hear!), I was thinking of freezing the colors flying in many different angles (such as worm's eye view).
Also, should I bring my tripod? Any tips would be much appreciated! Thanks Also, will 50mm be a waste of time here? Or should I stick to 18-50mm lens? I will def need 70-300mm if I don't want my camera ruined right?
