Happy New Year🎉 Which season do you find most challenging for outdoor photography?
@andrewreece5582

Mark Denney - Summer (in the south). Heat, humidity, and the green tunnel effect you get on most hiking trails. Finding unique compositions gets tough when everything is dense leaves.

I agree with Andrew I live in northern Florida and the summer humidity is so terrible most days I don’t even want to walk outside just to get in my car. I will take a frigid blizzard storm over a 100% humidity 95 degree day anytime. Because of that I find it difficult to get out and want to photograph anything unless it is a breezy day and I go to the coast.

Summer when it’s hot, buggy, and vacationers. Spring and fall have the most variety for color, so that’s my preferred seasons. Winter for tree portraits and bare forests. Snow is beautiful, but the cold can kill you if you’re not careful.

What I learned in the 10th Mountain Division... Bring an extra dry t-shirt. Sweat is bad. Always dress in layers. Bring extra dry socks. Wet feet never stay warm. Make the hike, change socks. If anyone disagrees with me, they have no idea what they're talking about. And your battery advice is spot on!

Excellent tips! One lesson I learned the hard way. Avoid - at all costs - accidentally breathing on a cold lens. In really cold weather it’ll condense and freeze on the glass in seconds and then there’s no easy way to scrape the ice off. Ps. In Canada it’s a neck tube and toque 😀

If it's not too bad sometimes a few squeezes from a rocket blower will clear it up. Once at a -20 Niagara falls I made the mistake of intentionally breathing on a polarizer in order to clean it.. before the breath was out of my mouth I'd realized I'd made a terrible mistake, it went right back in the bag haha.

Mark, Great topic! As a year-round motorcyclist, I've been hip to the neck gaiter for years. Word to the wise, never walk into a bank (or liquor store) with the gaiter pulled up over your face. Please don't ask how I learned THAT lesson... I've found that staying dry is the key to maintaining warmth. Not just for snow, but I bracket exposure for EVERYTHING.Thank goodness for the dynamic range of newer (and larger) sensors! WB, I agree is best done to taste. I love the LR white background tip.

I appreciate your Boy Scout approach. We have pretty busy Search & Rescue operations here in western Wyoming. So your advice on keeping warm is essential to being found in time to survive. I'm sure most photographers won't be venturing too far into the wild, but every year some do. I suggest finding videos that prepare you for the extremes. Steep, deep, streams, predators, injuries, no cell coverage. A lot of things that can go wrong. I do a bit of snow storm shooting so I'm adding to your gear list: 1. Mittens with free thumb, forefinger keeps hands warm longer. 2. Gaiters on your ankles. 3. High energy food. Bars freeze too hard to eat. 4. Keep your phone warm/charged. 5. I and my camera often return to my truck looking like a frozen snowman. I would not put my camera/lens in a zip lock bag. 6. Space blanket. I've never used mine, but I've come close.

Great tips and very timely as I'm heading off to the French Alps tomorrow. I hadn't even thought about the ziplock bag tip which makes so much sense. What do you do when you change lenses? Just apply the same logic and put them into a ziplock bag and then into your camera bag until later I guess. My Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM ART lens isn't weather sealed so that's giving me cause for concern as to whether I should even take it with me. Probably too late to expect a reply but thanks again for the video and the advice.

Hello Mark, regarding shooting snow. Many agencies state that we should over-expose for winter scenes. However, I always shoot in Manuel and I end up doing the same as I shoot in the summer by Exposing To The Right (ETTR). Should I instead change to aperture exposure, placing the needle in the middle of the meter, then do, an overexpose by a stop and a half? Many vloggers fail to address this issue and just leave - it hanging in the air. Perhaps you could explain this to me with a little more clarity, or even, cover this subject in more detail in a Video/Vlog. For, I feel it is an important issue that needs to be addressed. I would be considered as an experienced amateur photographer. But as yet, I still see this subject of shooting in the snow as a grey/gray area...

Worth mentioning a USB powered lens warmer to avoid condensation on your lens while you are outside shooting in freezing conditions. You can get them for a 15-20 bucks or euros depending on where you live from the internet. I noticed my D500 starts to freeze after 1.5 hours below ~ -8°C. Question for people who do astrophotography in winter: what do you do for hours if you car is not in your vicinity? :D Most of our national parks in Hungary are protected areas so you cannot just drive in and park your car, even if you have the roads. Most of the time I need to hike to get to my location no matter what kind of weather we have.

I just remove my SD card or cards at the end of the shoot and leave the camera gear in my backpack bag. After a few hours in the house they are fine. Your tips on exposure of snow scenes is very important. I am constantly adjusting the exposure compensation to get it right. I do take a thermos of coffee and some kind of protein bar with me as well. I like winter photography since it is a such a different challenge than other seasons photography.

Take memory card out of the camera before putting your camera bag in the car so you can look at your photos right away when you get home. Assuming your home is so close to the shooting location that your camera is not yet warm after the car ride and you have to leave the bag closed until it slowly warms up. Also put the camera bag in the trunk, not back seat. The trunk warms up slower (at least in my car). I always leave my camera and lenses in the closed camera bag until next morning if I have been shooting in winter. The amount of cold air in the bag has enough insulation against camera/lenses warming up too fast in my experience. I have the Shimoda 40 l. The situation might be different with other bags.

Thanks Kyle - I’m planning a video along the lines of what you mentioned in the near future👍 It’s possible that condensation build up could cause that, it really could cause all kinds of issues if it happens to your camera repeatedly.

In UK , we call them Neck tubes and are mostly used by motorcyclists. they really keep you warm and stop wind chill on your neck ( your jugular runs up your neck very close to your skin and heat loss can be significant from wind chill )

Great Cold weather video Mark. I live in South Texas, so whats cold for us is probably not cold for you but cold is cold regardless of where you live. I am NOT a big cold weather fan.. I did notice though you didn't touch on Condensation on the front of your glass when in cold weather shoots. Do you have any recommendations for keeping that moisture off your lens?

Thanks Tye! I usually keep a lens cloth close by and do my best to keep my lens condensation free by wiping. Definitely don’t breath on it:) I did that one time, that was a big mistake!

Funny, I actually wear the same brand socks, base layer, and inner glove layer. I still struggle to keep my fingers warm. They're long and thin, which means more skin surface area relative to mass and they lose heat like crazy! I'm going to try hand warmers in my pockets and keep my hands in there as much as possible, because frozen fingers get really painful as they're warming back up.

Happy New Year, looking forward to watching you through 2020. For personal comfort in cold weather I use layering learned from long distance motorcycle riding in cold weather. You are basically in one position for hours at a time. In later years I did turn to using electrical heated gear. Also, if carrying a tripod it can be very cold. On the upper legs of the tripod I attach those pipe insulation foam tubes. The tubes are split along one edge and easily slid onto the tripod legs. A little black tape secures them.

A good collection of tips here. When it comes to clothing I generally recommend a 3-layer with and additional stopping layer. So the base layer will be a layer of wool. You want to cover most of your skin with a thin layer. The reason you want to use wool and not a technical/syntetic material is that wool keeps you warm even if it contains up to 30% of moisture (sweat) and as a natural fabric it is not as expensive as the technical stuff. So after you have covered yourself from toes to neck/hands in wool you will add a second layer. This is the layer you ajust for temperature conditions. If its cold, wear a thick pair of wool trousers and a sweater. If its around the freezing point, then wear something a bit thinner. You can even drop this layer if it gets even warmer. As a third layer you will want to have something to keep the weather out. So a layer that has a wind stopper and a rain stopper. The additional stopping layer is a long thick comfy jacket/parkas. Once you stop. Get that thick jacket on to keep heat. If you plan on a trip where you know you will be active/producing a lot of heat I recommend a second pair of base layer in your backpack. if you plan on standing still in the snow for a long time, you should bring a little shovel and level and compact the area were you are standing to keep snow away from your shoes. A pair of electrically heated shoe inserts can also be a good option, but once the battery runs flat on these you will be very cold :S So a short packing list On body: 1 - Baselayer throusers / sweater / socks / boxer 2 - Warm layer throusers / sweater / socks / gloves / Snood (temperature dependent) 3 - top layer throusers / jacket / gloves or mittens if its extra cold / headgear (hat) In backpack 1 - Big comfy down jacket 2 - extra baselayer (at least a sweater) For camera batteries i some times use a external battery (like juicebox.direct/product/jbe6-01/). With a good warm battery stored as close to skin as possible and a cord out one of the jacket arms. You can just pull the cord out and connect to the dummy battery.

I experienced a similar, but reversed, problem with my camera when I visited Arkansas in the summer. The air conditioning in my car chilled the camera and lenses enough that it took a couple of hours for them to defog once I was out of the car.

Great tips Mark! Another thing to mention that have been extremely helpful in my case are snowshoes. They help me get to where I want for compositions that would be hard to get to otherwise. A good set of gaiters is helpful also. I made sure to get the largest size snowshoes to accommodate myself and the weight of all the gear in my bag. Cheers and Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Mark! Thanks for the link to those Valleret gloves. I’ve been looking for something that has the foldable fingertips and those look perfect. Winter shooting is probably my least favorite time because of how wet it gets in the Willamette valley and because it’s usually flat grey light that we have to deal with for a few months. Tough to get motivated in those conditions...
