Our recommendations: essential gear for your winter photo adventures
(Digital Photography Review)
 


Winter travel gear for photographers Whether youŽre photographing wildlife at Yellowstone or your kids sledding at the neighborhood park, winter presents a lot of great photo opportunities. However, winter also has its own challenges due to the short days, cold weather and - in places like Seattle - a fair bit of rain.

If youŽre shooting in very cold weather - especially when handing metal lenses or other gear - youŽll want to keep your hands warm. Otherwise, your camera will be about as useful as a brick in your numb, unresponsive fingers. Typical gloves are usually a poor match for photography as they limit dexterity, but there are some good options for photographers.

These facilitate short periods of exposure to the cold without having to remove your gloves completely, and you can uncover just one or two fingers while keeping the rest of your hands insulated. Great options include gloves from Vallerret (pictured), Freehands and The Heat Company. Sometimes, a pair of lightweight or liner gloves are all youŽll need, but not all liners are created equal.

We like RucPac`s professional tech gloves, but there are probably lots of options at your local outdoor store as well. Hand warmers Hand warmers are obviously designed to do a good job of warming your hands, but theyŽre good for other things as well. For example, I find them effective at keeping the non-photographer who`s stuck outside with me a bit more patient while I get that one last shot before heading inside (yeah, right...). Of course, hot choco ...
