Thanks Bill – true, keep the windows above freezing and let everything else drop below works the best I think.

Good tips, Ron. Most of those I already knew and tend to use, but as ever I also learned something new: the tripod legs. Usually, I’ve stomped three “holes” where my tripod would go and then deployed the tripod into those holes. Your approach seems much easier!

The comment about the cold car is very true. There’s a balancing act there, too, though: You need to keep the car at least warm enough to not fog up the windows with your breath driving from spot to spot!

Good advice here, esp. about avoiding condensation on camera and lens. I’ve lost many good shots due to forgetting about quick temperature changes.
Winter photography is a gift to hardy souls, and rewards those willing to get out in the cold. Because winter days are so short, you don’t have to get up crazy early, either, like you do if you want to catch best light in summer.

Hi Libby,

I have a large NAS storage unit – Ready NAS pro. It if for our online storage, and offers some redundancy. For the rest of our backups we use external hard drives. We keep two sets off site for extra safety – one in our RV, and one at a friends house.

I haven’t used a cloud solutions as I was afraid it would be too slow. We do have a much faster internet connection – but the amount of material we would have to move would take forever.

Storage: Do you rely on external hard drives or do you use one of the “clouds”? I have looked into several services, but retrieving a photo shot in RAW can take forever. It doesn’t seem practical. On the other hand a lost, stolen or erased hard drive isn’t so good either.

Never actually thought about using a chemical hand warmer in winter. It makes absolute sense, it’s so hard to take a shot during winter time when your hands are cold. Keep us updated!

I love your tip about gel warmers. I only recently once tried winter photography – to catch the lunar eclipse a month ago. I certainly had fog issues on my view finder. And gave up on the shoot because of cold hands taking the gloves on and off. Thank you.

Thanks Kathleen!

I have one of those “tube scarfs” – I think they are called neck gators – they work great!

Great tips Ron. Thanks for the reminder. Although I live in Canada, and should know better by now, I always forget the breath thing and suffer from the iced-over viewfinder. I nearly bought a balaclava yesterday but the eye holes were too small for photography so I ended up with a tight-fitting ‘tube scarf’ instead (I don’t know the proper name for them). I’m hoping it will stop the frozen jaw syndrome and the breath-on-viewfinder problem. I also bought a pile of chemical hand and toe warmers for my upcoming trip to photograph winter wildlife in Montana.
