But remember, like an automobile, a camera must be winterized. Duct tape helps. Simply wrap it wherever exposed flesh meets bare metal on the camera or the tripod. When an electronic camera's battery fails, booster cables won't work. Pay special attention to batteries in the cold.
Armpits provide an opportune stowing place until the perfect shot arises.
Film, made out of plastic, will freeze and break with rough handling. Be sure to advance film slowly. Once the equipment has been adjusted to the cold climate, go ahead and shoot some film. Watch your lighting, though, because shooting in snow requires a different approach for determining exposures. Metering the shadow rather than the bright snow will provide favourable results.
