Thank you very much, all. Living along Lake Superior, with the big lake and the BWCAW it's hard to take a bad photo.
Equipment works fine in those temperatures, but battery life is much shorter. Especially if you are using live view. Also, a little wave action yesterday and got splashed some. It freezes right away, though!
Condensation from your breath on the back of the camera can sometimes be a problem when looking at the histogram, etc. I typically use live view so I don't get too close to the camera and fog it up.
You have to be careful when you come back inside to let the gear warm up gradually so it doesn't get condensation. I usually leave it in my backpack and let it warm several hours.
Winter is the best time to live on Lake Superior and the Boreal Forest. Sunrise and sunset are over the lake and the ice and cold can make for some nice images. These were taken on the Grand Portage Reservation at Hollow Rock. This is much photographed in the winter especially since you can line the sunrise up with the gap in the rock (provided the ice hasn't closed it). These were taken yesterday, -13 degrees F, no wind. Cold temperatures on Lake Superior creates sea smoke, which makes for nice soft lighting. We have had a very cloudy fall and early winter, so it was nice to see the sun.
I’ll take this. Thanks. PayPal? Let me know about shipping
I'm interested! Is it still available?
