Photography Gloves
Dec 5, 2015 14:17:23 #
About this time every year people start asking about what gloves are best for wintertime photography. While browsing on the North Face website the other day I noticed that they had a large selection of gloves with what they call "E-Tips". The claim being that the tips of the fingers use a material that allows use of the little buttons on things like cellphones and other devices. Sounded interesting, so I ordered a $30 pair of light-to-midweight gloves. Just came today. Not only do they feel warmer then I expected, and the quality is good, I find that I can work all the controls of my 7DII with no problem with them on. Great! I hated having to shoot without gloves or having to remove them to change settings. $30 well spent! I might even get a second, heavier pair for really cold days. Or, I might just stay indoors! :-D

However, I'm always down for something that might be even better - do you have a specific link?

I recommend indoors, fire place going, music on the stereo, a good book or the equivalent, hot chocolate, tea, coffee, spiced cider; pet the cat/dog, smell the fresh cookies/muffins etc from the kitchen. Maybe one of those wire basket corn poppers for the fireplace.
Oh make sure the feeders are full for the birds before you settle down.

Awesome thanks!
You're welcome! The reason I found the gloves was because I was searching for some good quality thermal underwear. If you are out in the cold much you may want to check out what they have. The pair I just received are lightweight, fit very well, and surprisingly warm. Light years better then the cotton-blend ones I've used for decades.

Who told you that? We've had paving jobs going right till Christmas, and sometimes longer. You can put down base in pretty cold weather. Never did any paving anyway. Retired now, but for 19 yrs it was my job to make sure the equipment and trucks were ready to go. Sold my trucks and gave up trucking after 25 yrs. Stopped turning wrenches and put away my tools after 19 yrs. Now, if I go outside in the cold it's on my terms, and that means being warm! :-D
