Hi guys,
Any tips to photographing waterfalls and how to avoid spray on your lenses?
Thanks
 
Don't stand too close?


Or use a plastic bag with a hole cut in it to cover the lens and camera. Use a UV filter if you are that worried or aren't using other filters to protect the front element, can't say I ever have ever bothered with it and all my gear is still fine!
 
i keep a uv filter on most times. i do have a rain cover to protect the camera but was mainly looking at if there was any way to keep water droplets off the lens and hence ruining any photos.
in terms of standing too close - not sure how close we will be getting to the waterfalls
 
If its just fine you can use a hand held fan to blow the mist water away.

But what I do is compose my shot on a tripod then detach the camera wipe with a lens cloth, leave the cloth over the lens as I put it back on the tripod then remove the cloth and take the photo.
