    Official entries:


    Brian's first entry we aren't counting because well, he didn't really think about it before posting and just wanted to be first in. Strong work Bruh. o_O

    What Brian is calling his official entry. And if you do this again you're going to face the wrath of Bruh.


    Nice work this week guys. Lots of entries and really good submissions. Proud of every one of you (Even Brian). As usual this is now in the hands of last weeks winner @P2W. Good luck everyone!

    So...

    Is it bad to leave my camera in my truck all the time? Sony Nex6

    Heat isn't an issue but freezing temps are. It's in a soft case.

    The auto focus doesn't seem to work as well. :oops: just wondering if it's age.. or abuse of being in the truck.

    Ah that could be age or the cold. There should be a minimum and maximum storage temperature in the owners manual. If you’re within that you should be fine, but I baby my cam so it always comes back in the house.

    Mines a bit old and I since there's a ton of wildlife, I'm always hoping to have it at a time to get some pictures while driving.

    But upgrading is on my list of things to do, so i wanted to know.

    Storage temp is down to -4... So it should be fine as far as that goes.

    I find cameras tolerate cold quite well, or at least better than I do, it's the batteries that really suffer.. I find myself taking breaks to shove the battery in an armpit to give it more life when I'm out in subzero.
    However, everything works better when it's kept warm. .02

    What if I post an internet image as a response to a comment? Does that count as my entry?
