Winter Photography Tip #3

Batteries do not work as well when cold. When on an extended photo treks in the cold, carry extra batteries, in a plastic bag, inside your coat.

Winter Photography Tip 2

Enjoy photographing the beautiful winter scenes but do not ruin your camera in the process.
When coming in from the cold, your camera will often fog up from the warmer, more humid air inside. This can cause damage outside and inside your camera.
1. Never wipe off your lens with a paper towel. Always use a lens tissue or you may permanently scratch your lens.
2. To prevent the condensation, place your camera in a sealable plastic bag, while still outside, and then allow your camera to warm up inside, while inside the bag.

Winter Photography Tip 1

When photographing the snow, does it come out gray for you?
The reason is that your internal meter will automatically expose to make the subject gray.
It will make a black cat gray or white snow gray unless you do something to compensate.
Most modern cameras have exposure compensation.
If snow is the predominant subject in your image, set your exposure compensation to +0.5 to +2.0 depending on how bright it is.
Check you camera manual for how to do this for your camera.

Two other, more accurate, methods to achieve a correct exposure is to:
1. Bring a gray card and expose for that with your camera meter
2. Use an incident light meter to measure the light striking your subject.
