Winter Photography Gear

Slidinginfinity

The idea for this thread started a few weeks back on a night walk. Some of us had fingerless gloves, some were not so lucky. Everyone had a tripod, colder metal on a cold night.
I was one of the lucky ones with fingerless gloves with mitten flaps, but everytime i used the mitten flaps I saw a shot or wanted to adjust something and just had to take them off again. I had seen these sometime back and thought that they would have been nice on that night.

What gear do the rest of you have or wish you had for winter outdoor photography?

I cut holes for my fingerprints from leather driving gloves with an insulating inner lining, good enough for our winters. TK-Maxx is great for clothes, got a jacket with wind jammer on the sleeves and waist. Camping socks and decent boots are a must, if your feet get cold the maniacal laughter stops.

The "dot" gloves, really I mean a bit of silicone on the tips each finger, if you want Ill do all the fingers and cause Im a nice guy Ill do both thumbs as well :D Not been smart but you really could do the same to any pair of gloves.

Pennys €1.50 for a 2 pack FLG's bargin !

I have a golf glove on right hand and pair of fleece gloves (the right one goes over the golf glove). My tripod has a insulating foam on (the upper part of) one leg. You could do it DIY style using pipe insulation foam and few cable ties.
Keep spare batteries in a pocked under your coat.
Don't open camera bag directly after entering heated room.

I got a pair of these last year. Expensive but they do the job:)

I manned up and went barehanded, but a set of fingerless gloves are called for in future.

Something like this guy has:

that'll teach you to take photos of me again!

I've just ordered my Henry glove, really 'handy' & adds 'punch' to your shots

Look the very same as the old goalie gloves we used to have in primary school! Anyone remember the yellow and black ones?

I got Snowbee neoprene gloves last year, the thumb and forefinger tips can be turned back. Best thing ever! £22 but well worth it!

ordinary gloves with the tips cut out of the right thumb and right index finger.

simple and easy.

another tip if you're thinking of doing this is to singe where you make the cuts so that gloves don't fall apart.
