Cheers Rich, Some great tips in there and it was great to see the difference with the exposure compensation from correct and then +1 and +2 Stops! What a difference it makes. Also some good tips on the survival side of things. I'd love to hear more about that in a future video. Thanks again, glad I joined the members area now as that was really useful. Also nice to see the DSLR!! regards Roger

[@RichardBirchett]

Thanks for checking it out Roger, pleased you got some tips in there that were of use. Can make a difference between a good shot and a bad one! And the survival ones are always so important regardless of where you are. Cheers R

Great video Rich, Lots of good tips for photography in the snow certainly with reference to exposure, and the survival parts were also a great touch. Than’s again for a great video and I’m glad I joined as a member, you open to a few video suggestions? Cheers S

[@RichardBirchett]

Thanks Sara, Really appreciate you watching and joining the members area, always happy to get some ideas so please let me know. Cheers R

Great tips Richard. One thing you might mention with the use of a lens hood is that they can introduce a form of heat haze when first bringing your camera out into the cold environment from a warm environment. Its best to remove it until the lens and hood adapt to the cold to avoid the problem. Stay warm and safe!

[@RichardBirchett]

Hi Mark, Thanks very much for joining the members area it's great to have you with us! Also some great tips from you so thanks very much, I'll pin your comment so all can see it. I didn't know about that one to be honest so it's great to learn from others so thanks very much. All the very best to you. Rich

[@junebug1553]

Excellent and shared. Rich, I'd like to know how to photograph snow coming down upon the landscape. Are there rules to follow and what settings work best for producing pretty snow falling. Thanks so much.

[@RichardBirchett]

That's a great question, I'll try and create a video about snow photography and how to capture it. Thanks for watching and for the great suggestion! Thanks again for the super, hope you had a great Christmas and a good New Year Rich 👍

[@joncothranphotography9375]

Great advice Rich! I don't know if we'll have snow, but should we happen to get some, I'll give those tips a try. Love the shots of the deer at the end!

[@RichardBirchett]

Thanks for watching Jon, hopefully the snow comes your way and you manage to get some great shots cheers R 👍

[@deerohdeer8000]

[@RichardBirchett]

Thanks Craig, Cheers for all your support mate, glad you enjoyed the video. Hope to get some more Deer very soon. All the best for 2025 mate. Rich 👍

[@DunrobinOntario]

What I always do is when I come back in from the cold, I set my camera down on a side counter and lay a hand towel over the whole thing so it makes a tent...leave it like that for an hour🤷‍♂️

[@RichardBirchett]

Nice one Jon, good advice there and it's always good to be cautious and careful with your kit. Cheers R

Top Drawer I Suppose mine would be .. 1 Buy a genuine waterproof jacket with quality well underlining made for cold climate . 2 waterproof trousers ..they are a godsend !! 3 Always check the weather before leaving .. and have good weather app on your phone 4 Learn to use the map app on the phone and have good Geography skills . 5 Know how to read the weather ie look at the sky for changes again that comes with experience known what you looking at 6 have at least 2 portable phone chargers 7 Know what black ice is !! It will save you from slipping and gear potentially damaged etc 8 If you are camping out in don't pitch in a exposed location / area prone to high winds etc . Like you see with some idiots on youtube who do it in there camping videos lolol . 9 People who are considering to drive to a location and it starts snowing . If there vehicle is a FWD . Don't bother because you'll be saved from the embarrassment of being seen wheel spinning lolol .As the vehicle struggles on slighest of gradients of a rd / hill

[@RichardBirchett]

Thanks Colin, Some great tips there and it's always an exhaustible list as there is so much to cover and a lot quite basic and it is surprising how many people just don't bother and get caught out. Cheers hope you had a great Christmas and a even better NY. R👍
