Winter is close upon us and with that comes the promise of getting outside in the freezing cold and creating some beautiful landscape images. Photo Tom gives us 7 tips to enhance our winter images.
Two more tips of my own (from bitter experience I might add) would be to wear appropriate clothing. Base layers are totally unsexy but essential in sub-zero conditions. Hats, gloves, and layers are essential. If you get wet as well as cold you will not have much time before hypothermia sets in, and always tell someone where you are going and when you will be back.
The other thing to remember is that batteries drain very quickly in cold temperatures. Keep spares in the inside pocket of your jacket to keep them as warm as possible. And don’t be too surprised if your fancy digital camera starts playing up. Many Polar wildlife film-makers and photographers often have to use film rather than shoot digital because the cameras simply cannot cope with such low temperatures. Stay warm and enjoy your winter landscapes!
