Shooting in the Cold


Here's a great accessory for taking photos in the cold; Lululemon gloves. The tips of the pointer finger and thumb can be easily slipped over your fingers which allow you to turn knobs yet keep your hands from freezing. I love them! I think they are actually meant to control your iPod but it works wonderfully with your camera too!
{The other thing to remember when shooting in the cold is that your battery will drain way faster! When I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, I hiked with my camera batteries tucked under almost all of my clothes.}

What Do You Shoot In?

This poll was taken from Digital Photography School with over 72,000 people (mostly photographers, I'm assuming) participating. I personally shoot Aperture Priority (AV on your dial) all the time except when doing studio stuff, then I use Manual. If you have a DSLR and haven't made your way out of automatic, I really, really encourage you to. Learn about what aperture, ISO, and shutter speed mean, and how to adjust them, and you can make the most out of any lighting situation.
