Winter Picts Opportunity

Well, Winter is coming early.

For those of us who like the quiet peace of the gentle falling snow, this last week has provided some with an early opportunity to take those Winter pictures. Here is a link to the Weather Channels snow forecast map. Central Indiana got the rain and wind. We did have a trace of snow. Here are a few tips for the winter photo season.

- Keep your batteries warm. They will last longer.
- Keep your tank full. You do not want to get stranded.
- Do not be afraid of inclement weather. Some of the best shots I've seen have been taking in conditions that 99.9% of us stay inside for. Be sensible though. You do not want to shoot an avalanche from your buried car.
- Know the temperature extremes of your equipment. Keep them inside your jacket when not in use if the temperature is to cold.
- Pack a thermos of hot chocolate. Add any other warming fluids as needed ;)

Have fun out there!
