Ideas for Winter photography

9/1/2015

Winter means short days and not a lot of light.  
Bare earth and dying foliage.  
Muddy fields and rain.

It also means crisp frosty mornings, 
watery winter sunlight, and 
magical skies.

Photography in Winter requires a special kind of commitment:  

  • You have to dress for the weather
  • You need to look after your equipment in the wet
  • You are prepared to freeze!


Hot tip: In very cold weather keep your spare battery (you do always carry a spare don't you?) In your trouser pocket to keep warm, that way you can swap your batteries over when they get too cold and stop working properly.

Hot tip two: Carry a hand warmer. In temperatures of -8C I thought that my automatic locking on my car had stopped working, it was actually my fingers!


Wait until conditions are right: 

  • Frost, check the weather forecast the night before.
  • Rain, raindrops on leaves make lovely shots
  • Beautiful sunrises or sunsets
  • Lovely textures and simple colour combinations


These are some I made earlier...

So wrap up, get out there and have some fun.
