I agree, I keep the lens cap on when walking around, but sometimes I also simply shot in the pouring rain. I put a baseball cap on top of my camera, with the front “flap” over the lens and the “head piece” over the camera, it fits perfectly for that lens I was using. The downside of course was that I myself got soaking wet :) but shooting in the rain is beautiful too.
I also tried to shoot from my car with the window rolled down, but the wind blew the rain inside anyway, so that didn’t work.

IMO — too many people are worried about camera damage by moisture. I mean I don’t want to go swimming with the camera or take it our in heavy rain.…but a bit of fog? Fog cries out to be photographed.

When slight moisture hits the camera/lens — I usually just let it air dry for a bit. So far so good :)

When I went out to shoot some pictures, I almost didn’t go because of the fog, but I decided to go anyway, and shot one of my all time favorite landscape shots. The fog/mist adds a lot of layers in the scenery. So everyone, don’t worry about the fog, keep the lens cap on until you take the shot, and you will be fine! Just bring a tripod for longer exposures.
