Snow white, snow bright How to prepare for cold and snowy conditions.

 

1. Cold kills batteries
Pack at least one spare battery for outdoor expeditions. Keep warm spares close to your body.
PICK UP BATTERIES
2. Boost your memory
Pick up a larger memory card to avoid swapping out one with your cold, bare hands.

3. Use the right tripod
Don't get stuck to a metal tripod in the cold. Try a carbon tripod instead.

4. Try a polarizing filter
They're not just for water, but for winter, too. The results can be stunning.

6. Adjust meters for snow
Use image playback and exposure compensation to adjust for the bright snow.
7. Pick a versatile lens
Who wants to change lenses in the cold? Try a 70-200mm lens that stops down to 2.8 for great winter shots.

8. Don't fog your camera up
Gradually warm your camera back up inside a plastic bag to avoid condensation.
