Some of my coolest shots (excuse the pun) are from days when I saw nobody else outside due to the weather. Even my carbon tripod (which I rarely use) gets cold to the touch, but there are some great touchscreen-compatible gloves out there that allow you to keep your fingers covered (plus they make great liners for down gloves/mitts when it's "arctic" cold). The key is to keep your core warm (but not too warm--layering is key and heat packs can help, but I rarely use them). I Nordic ski when it's -10°C (14°F) or colder with thin gloves and sometimes my hands get too warm (but bare skin dries out in those conditions and UV's damaging, so best to leave them on). Periodically stepping up your pace between shots will help keep your extremities warm (plus it's good for CV health). The most important thing is to keep your feet warm and dry, so sock liners, expedition-weight socks, and waterproof boots big enough to accommodate those without being too tight but not so loose as to allow heel blister-inducing movement are key. Style depends on terrain and conditions (e.g., "snow"/hiking/mountaineering). Do your research...
I read once many years ago that when bringing your camera into a warm environment from a cold one, 3:55, to place the camera into a plastic bag and seal it until it warms up. I like your tip to just bring the memory card though. We didn’t have that option back in the days of film without ending the roll prematurely. Have I been doing this in vain? Excellent photography and helpful tips.
Another beautiful shot video Andy with some useful tips. You certainly will.gain many more followers in 2023. Wonderful set of photographs in particular l thought the one with the Rocks and leaves was splendid. Happy Christmas and wishing you a wonderful 23.
I’m a people photographer, but your images are making me think about taking one of my D850s outdoors - maybe even in the cold. Lovely images and good tips.
Best investment ever was a heated sweater to wear under a jacket. You can buy a heat pad kit to fit any jacket or sweater that work really well. The foot pads though only two do get warmer so don't hesitate to use them for other applications. You can also snip off a couple of pads of the 5 pad set to make the 3 pads warmer and run longer. You get cold arm don't do this.
I like your vlog, nice photos and you have an easy chill cool dude vibes, subscribing.
Thank you for the kind feedback and thank you for subscribing.
Good video and tips! I don't think most people really 'look' for photos, you certainly put some thought into it, thanks
Thanks Alan.

Some great advice - thanks for sharing.

I remember putting film into plastic bags until warm - seems along time ago.
Very nice video Andy, the first shot is my favourite, it's a lovely image.
Thank you John

Thanks Leigh for watching and Ithe feedback - hope you are inspired to head out into the cold. The D850 is great in all weather.

BTW, who shot the video and what camera and lenses did (s)he use?
My wife Corrine shoots the video - it's all shot on a Fuji XT-3 with Fuji 18 - 55mm XF lens.
