Winter is the best time for photography, but you have to be careful

January 15, 2019 in journal

In my opinion, winter is the best time of the year to make images. It comes with some risks, though.

While I do go on some hikes, most of the shooting during the cold months is done not too far from the car. I drive to a location and make a few exposures. Then I drive to the next spot. This is what I did last week during some intense cold and foggy weather.

I wasn't careful enough and several days of moving between a warm car and the freezing outdoors have taken their toll on me.

It's just a cold and I'll be out making new images soon. It just kills me to see that the fog is still with us and I can't stop thinking about the images I'm not making. All because I was careless.
