Shooting Photos in Cold Weather
I took this shot just below the Nokhu Crags of the Never Summer Range in Northern Colorado. Fairly warm day at 15-20 degrees F considering the altitude.
Shooting in the winter can be a little tricky. Pulling a warm piece of glass such as a camera out of a warm car, pocket, or pack usually cause it to fog right over.
If you're going to be out in the cold for a while it is not a big deal because once the glass reaches the ambient temperature the fog will dissipate. A little trick if you want to get some photos in a variety of temperatures in a short amount of time is to put your camera in a plastic bag when you are making the transition. This will keep your lens from fogging over and forcing you to wait a while for it to clear. This should work with any camera. If you're using a DSLR make sure you put lens and body in a plastic bag because the glass in front of the camera sensor can also fog up. Bueno suerte!
