TC010 Taking Pictures in Winter on Your Hoildays

Taking photographs at a travel destination in the winter can be challenging yet rewarding.  One may see fewer photogenic subjects, but they can be found and be quite enjoyable to shoot with a little preparation.

Whether you go to Alaska, Argentina, or the Alps here are some basic facts you need to be aware of when setting out to photograph or shoot video in cold weather countries.

If you dress for the weather and pack a few extra items there is no reason you can’t go out on a cold day or even in a snowstorm and have some fun with it. Here in Canada I have learned to live with it comfortably.

By nature most of us leave our cameras at home on cold or bad weather days, yet this is where you might find some unusual, unique circumstances that produce great photography.  Sometimes there are opportunities that can create a certain mood and trigger those emotions in your images we all seek, such as:

-The bleak and open emptiness and of a frigid landscape. 

-The festive lights and celebrations of the holidays under a full moon. 

-Nature sleeping under a blanket of snow awaiting spring. 

-Winter sport action under a crisp blue sky.
