Betsy Drew		Winter and Holiday Photos I'm writing a short blurb for a local publication on tips for taking photos during the winter season and holidays. I would LOVE any input from all you wonderful photographers! I'd like to give some valuable tips on snow shots, Christmas lights shots, menorah lights shots and anything else that could make it fun. Thanks! To love this question, log in above October 05, 2003

Tony Sweet		Hi B.! 1. mention to shoot at dusk, while there's some color in the sky, if possible. 2. To be able to enjoy the time outside in the winter, mention that it's very important to keep one's hands, feet, and head warm!! Tony Sweet To love this comment, log in above October 06, 2003

Dean Boyer		I always look for nice contrasting light ( i.e. like shadows off trees cast on the snow). I find that the area I live in is great for winter scapse taken in the morning. Winter photography is my favorite. good luck To love this comment, log in above October 06, 2003

Andy		Extra batteries and keep them warm. For snow scenes, overexpose one or two stops if using camera's build-in meter. Condensation problem when bringing in the camera from outside into a warm place. Put the camera in a plastic bag BEFORE entering a warm place and let the camera warm up slowly.
