ZoomIn Holi’s almost here and by now you would have surely seen a number of people walking with their faces covered in ‘Gulaal’ or some other holi-favored color. We want you to be ready and equipped to capture those amazing Holi moments. Last week in part 1 of a 2 part series to get you prepared for this can’t miss festival, we shared photo tips to deal with the harsh midday sun.
In this second part, we would like to concentrate more on the safety of your photo capturing gizmo, be it a camera or even a mobile phone.
Zip Lock Bag – The universal solution:Â
It would work best to just have a small zip lock bag, which can store your phone/camera safely. While this would sound risky, trust us, this is the best alternative available. You can find a zip lock bag at most local shops and it won’t burn a hole in your pocket either!
If you feel this is not a viable option, you can take your phone/camera, wrap it around in a plastic bag and either stick it up with cellophane/duct tape or good old rubber bands. While this may sound crazy, if done properly (basically wrapped over 2-3 times on the device) your precious device dry will remain dry.
Housing kits – The more professional approach:
Well, of course there are professional alternatives out there! While they may set you back a few bucks, these housing kits are meant to survive underwater expeditions, so Holi as such, should be a cinch! And guess what – they’re available in two different types: one for everyday Point and Shoots and one for the bulkier DSLR’s. Plus, there’s a lot more where these came from!

And hey – you’re not paying up for nothing!  You can always reuse these kits too! Maybe the next time you go swimming. Hope these tips help you. Here’s to a happy and safe Holi – from all of us snappers at ZoomIn.
