Excellent Video ! What gloves are you wearing?, you're not struggling to use the change camera setting with the gloves on.

Hi, thank you for the video. Pictures are nice and the data along is much appreciated but I'm surprised that as a photography teacher, you do not mention at all the white balance settings so important for snow photography. Because as for exposure, in snow, AWB from camera gives quite funky results. Anyway for the readers, 8000k is a good start, then fiddle up or down.
Otherwise, may I ask what tripod and head you use ? It looks like a Manfrotto 055XPROB but I'm not too sure...

Hi you said your cameras in Aperture priority made how do you put in the shutter speed ?

[meech]

I was interested in some of your photography courses but when I looked on your website, as usual, no prices. Why?

[lonewolfphotography]

before I really jump into the video, I'd like to say that I'm watching this in the Middle East, and the air conditioning is working over time !! - ALSO how can I /should I use ND filters to photograph snow ?, thanking you in advance .

Is there something you do to get your gear exposed to the cold and then get back inside ? Some of you may laugh but I want to avoid condensation in my gear.
