With snow photography you are confronted with more extreme outdoor circumstances. Although you may enjoy the warm winter sun some times, often you will have to deal with less agreeable temperatures and cold wind.

Your photographic equipment will have to deal with these conditions too.

Some things to consider or take into account:

• Be aware of condense forming inside the camera. Moisture on the lens occurs with changing temperatures
• Your battery will perform considerably less in colder circumstances. They will drain quickly, keep them as warm as possible between shoots (outside the camera) and take additional batteries
• Keep the camera strapped around your neck as you operate in more slippery environment. Have protective cover to protect the camera in case you loose your balance on the icy path
