Reviving a Soggy Camera

You may recall that last summer while kayaking Rich and I over turned the kayak dousing everything including my camera. For months the camera has been submerged in a bowl of rice and occasionally I would check to see if it was functional. Turning the camera on each time, the display screen was blank. Boo. 

Playing around with the camera recently I noticed that when the shutter button is pressed it makes the satisfying click noise. The view screen is blank though. Ever up for an experiment, during a walk on the beach this week I took some photos. Of the 150 or so, 19 were of birds, the intended subject of the photos. 

Most were of sky,

Sea,

and Sand.

Sky, gull and sea. All three unintentional.

Some of the birdless photos are interesting.

The birds pictured: Whimbrel, plover, and crow.

I will keep practicing.

FYI. 

We will continue to shelter at Whalers Rest Campground south of Newport through May 31. Not sure yet if the park we hope to volunteer at in June will be open. Sigh...
