Winter has certainly arrived to most of the Northern Hemisphere. Well technically to all of it but there are places where people still get to wear shorts. Here are some colder weather photography tips. Feel free to leave your own tips in the comments below. 1- Keep your spare camera batteries warm. Keep them in an inside pocket. Cold batteries lose their power, they regain it when warmed up. 2- Keep your camera cold to avoid condensation and allow your camera to warm up slowly or seal it in a ziplock bag before you bring it inside and again allow it to slowly warm up before taking out of the bag. 3- If you are in and out of your car, keep it cold. Again to avoid condensation on and in your camera. Watch out when changing lenses too. 4- Use those nice chemical hand-warmers to keep your finger tips from freezing off :/ And or pick up a pair of glittens. 5- Remember that your camera always wants to expose everything at a middle gray level. If shooting in snow you need to expose to the right to get white snow.
