I think you should tell people to put hand warmers inside a camera bag in winter to keep the gear nice and warm. I am pretty sure you meant to say to keep "your batteries" nice and warm and it was just a slip to say gear instead. if you shoot in the cold let your gear get cold and don't warm them up, just the batteries keep them in your inner pockets. When you finish shooting for the day put your gear into a plastic bag and let it warm up until next morning inside the bag otherwise you risk the chance of condensation inside camera or lens. if you need to go pee leave your camera outside in the cold, don't bring it inside even for a couple of minutes, I learned the hard way, passing this along. cheers and thank for the tips and great video.
Great video. That looks like Garden of The Gods. I love that place. I visited frequently when I was stationed at Ft Carson. Idea for a follow up video...how to acclimatize the camera to avoid fog, frost, and condensation...i.e. from home to car, car to field, and car to home.
Great tips, as usual, thank you RnG. I sometimes encounter problems with white balance in snow scenes, whereby a blue cast is evident. Probably user error, swiftly corrected in post I know. BTW, you've got the super-long fingers of a concert pianist - just like Glenn Gould's.
Thank you! I try to set my White Balance as soon as I get on location. The snow is a pretty good grey card for that. I've never really been able to get the hang of the piano... not that I haven't tried hahaha
@@RunNGunPhoto LOL - you deserve to get many more subs, and I hope you do in due course. A vid goes viral, and subs go up through the roof and there seems to be no accounting for it (except click-bait, which all honest TH-camrs deplore). Best.
Question from a newbie about to buy his first fancy camera: How cold can temperatures be before cameras, lenses and other equipment are harmed by the weather ? Is the harm from cold weather temporary or permanent ? What kinds of cameras and lenses tolerate cold temps the best ?
Lots of companies list recommended operating temperature ranges for their electronics. I'd definitely recommend researching the camera you are looking at to ensure it's weather sealed to protect it from the elements. Getting your camera a little warm or cold won't hurt it. The cold can permanently damage things like batteries and LCD screens, depending on how long they're exposed. I've worked in some extreme temperatures like -60F, so the average shooter will never encounter temperatures like this.
You’d be surprised how uncommon “common sense” is. I lost a photographer friend who went out into a blizzard unprepared and didn’t come back alive. Photography complicates basic tasks, and you might be surprised how many people would sacrifice cold weather gear for photo gear when weight is critical.
@@RunNGunPhoto sorry for your loss. I guess my feedback was that you have two topics here: how to stay safe photographing in winter conditions and how to adjust your photography to wintery scenes. And I'd love to hear more about the second topic :)
@@antonvietrov2852 Thanks for the feedback Anton, I'm actually working on Part 2, that focuses more on gear/settings/techniques/etc. that I think you'll enjoy!
Great tips. I’m in Alaska and have experienced a bit of cold when out to take pictures. Thanks
Thank you DJ! The coldest temperature I've ever photographed in, was -70F in North Dakota. I'm excited to visit Alaska one of these days!
The broll is killer man, great stuff
Thanks dudeski!

Another solid video buddy, always a pleasure 👍
Thank you for the continued support! Keep creating awesome videos as well!

Yup, definitely Garden of the Gods during a snow storm. And great video idea!

I really appreciate it! It’s difficult to get views theses days. Everyone that shares the videos is a huge help.
Can you please upload a video about professional mobile photography please????
Absolutely Ultron, I've already started working on it! Thanks for the suggestion!
@@RunNGunPhoto thank you so much dude
*What tips or tricks do you have for Winter Photography?*
great tips! Always wear a beanie in the snow...my only tip extra ;) lol
Great Tip! I used my beanie to cover my camera instead of my head while shooting this... my head froze.
@@RunNGunPhoto zip lock bags GO! lol
@@MarkHoltze I have an actual camera "jacket," I just have no clue where I put it!
nice one, thanks :)
Glad to help Oscar!

Nice
Thanks
@RunNGunPhoto 🙂👍
Thanks so useful
Glad you think so Dan, it was a lot of fun (and work) filming in the middle of a blizzard!
Very useful tips....but why aren't you wearing a hat or good? 😉
😂 Hi Jenny, my had to to protect my video camera from the blizzard. I didn’t follow my own tips! 😬
I did have warm socks though! 🙌🏻
Thanks for the tip 5 about overexposing, the rest seemed like a common sense?
