It’s hard to believe that it’s almost 10 years ago during the winter of 2014 into 2015 that we had a wonderful amount of snow fall. I’m sure that not everyone enjoyed that snow, especially those who struggled to clean the roads and driveways. Then in January, there was the blizzard of 2015, which deposited snow amounts ranging from 2 – 3 feet (60 – 90 cm) across the entire state.
One of the reasons I appreciated this storm was the opportunity to take photos such as this one…
As it happened, John Slonina (yes, he of Slonina Photography) put together a jaunt to the coastal areas of northern Massachusetts and New Hampshire; I jumped on that opportunity and broke out my best cold weather gear to be able to spend a blustery Saturday outdoors in the elements to capture some of the spectacle!
Dressed in layers, snow pants, a heated vest, toasty gloves and my favorite The North Face snow boots, I was ready for a day of photography! Of course, even my trusty Canon EOS 5D Mk III was wrapped up in layers to help keep the batteries as warm as possible. I can honestly say that I was extremely comfortable throughout the day; the only tricky part was making a bathroom stop during our lunch!
I’d love to hear about your extreme elements shoots and how you prepared for them.
