Hi gang! I am trying to schedule a photo shoot with an aspiring model and unfortuately the weather lately here in Florida hasn't cooperated. It looks like the forcast for this week is going to be better then in recent weeks so we're going to give the shoot at try. Our plan is to shoot outdoors around sunset to take advantage of the "good light". I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on things I could look out for during an outdoor shoot in Florida's heat and humidity. My concern is the "shiny face" problem that often occurs from the perspiration of being out in the hot humid air. Does anyone have any tricks to overcome this? Better ways to position light to avoid it?

Thanks in advance for any and all tips.

I second that. I have no idea how many times I take my camera out of the bag (which is fairly well insulated with padding and all) only to find that my UV filter has gone completely white with fog. Just take a microfiber lens cleaning cloth or something (you can get one almost anywhere in the optical sections usually in the pharmacy). Good luck on the shoot!
