Are you a dedicated photographer?

[Joey_Ricard]

Very cool. Any other shots? For all we know he's 10 yards from a highway or a Starbucks!

lol............

 

[spacefuzz]

yes I am that dedicated! Nothing better than being freezing cold miles from civilization, just you and your camera.

Bunny tracks.
Hard core photography. If it were mine I would crop the bottom part off to the top of the big footprint right in the middle bottom.
Excellent shot as is.

Must be a Nikon seeing how its working in that brutal temp. Juat sayin'

This photo was taken indeed with a Nikon. The photo he was trying to make... didn't work out (he's a Canon shooter).

Here's one: http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/general-gallery/274665-sunset-over-frozen-lake.html

For all we know he's 10 yards from a highway or a Starbucks!

The closest Starbucks is about 2 hours away The closest anything is about 30-40 minutes away

...and finally you have it....a human figure in your frame... i am really impressed :thumbsup:

I'll do my best not to do it again

I don't know if you're serious or not. I actually agree with everything you said, although I don't HAVE to be in the freezing cold

If it were mine I would crop the bottom part off to the top of the big footprint right in the middle bottom.

That crop might definitely work. But... this was just a snapshot that I thought turned out cool. I didn't really put too much effort into post-processing it, and don't expect to put any more

Thanks all for your comments!

Thank you, sir.

Funny thing... if you scaled the photographer down to say, 1/4 size, it would still work.

Frederico, great image, as always!

Thanks very much! I hadn't thought about the scale thing that you mention, but it makes sense.

Is that photographer mounted into the image?

The coldest I shot in was -40°C and strong wind this winter. Almost lost two fingers when changing lenses

Hey Alex, long time no see! No, the photographer is not mounted into the image (I wouldn't even know how to do it). I regularly shoot in the minus twenties (Celsius) in the winter. The coldest I've shot so far was around -30°C. It's fun when you lose fingers or even a limb to frostbite, no?

It is certainly no fun, and this time it was rather close to serious damage to my fingers. I had quite some luck I did react quickly. It took some time until I got the feeling back ... and then it took a loong time until the hammering pain went away Oh, and by the way, two Canons did very well for days at -40C (and so do Nikons, I know) ... have not been around here for a long time indeed!

Dedicated? Oh yeah ... more than me! Brrrrr!

I know what you mean. Shooting in the extreme cold really tests the limits on one's thickheadedness: you know that you should not be doing it, and the risk is HIGH... but – even if you're a very responsible person – somehow you don't care...

I still consider motorways more dangerous
