I took a K-30 w/18-55mm WR to Burning Man...it survived!

Great photos! Thanks for sharing.

You put it in a good use!

Hmmmm.....very cool pics! Thanks.
I wonder if that K30, being rainproof and all that, would survive a light wash in the dishwasher?
lol

Nice photos and way to make good use of your gear!
Did you just keep a single lens on the whole time? That is what I think I'd do.
Did you use a tripod at all or are those all handheld?

I used only the 18-55mm kit lens. All handheld. This is a great camera.

Thanks for the comments, guys!

Those are class acts.....you put that little camera through the ringer and it delivered.....well done, super captures....

Great shots, and the epitome of why we all keep the 18-55 in our collection -- for times like this. Very cool.

Thanks! I just held it under the sink for a while. It's slowly but surely all coming off!
