What's it like shooting in the cold like that? Did you feel any kind of slow down in camera mechanics?

What lens/filter were you using? There's no ghosts! Were you wiping down the filter a lot from snow spray?

Any condensation issues after bringing the equipment indoors after being out in the cold?

Interdarsting project btw, nice to see an idea for a project thought out and then actually put into practice.

Thanks Vincent

It wasn't even cold when I shot that. But from other shoots in the cold I can tell you that I didn't notice any slow down in camera mechanics, but the batteries drain a lot faster. And my hands get cold fast, that's the biggest problem :P

It was a Nikkor 10.5mm fisheye on a D70s, it doesn't have any filter slots, no filter. Nikon and Canon fisheyes are pretty good at handling backlight, I hardly ever get ghosts. We did 2 shots like this and I managed to hide the lens before the snow hit me, so no wiping too.

As for condensation, after I go home from shooting when freezing I keep the camera in the bag for about 15 minutes, and then out of the bag for another 15-30 minutes (depending how cold it was) before I turn it on again. If you have a separate card reader it's not a big deal.

Edit: Found a ghost

Look into "texting" gloves. I have a really nice leather pair, and on both hands, just the index finger and thumb flips back.

Unfortunately, by the time I got some, it wasn't cold anymore. Maybe next year

I feel like a dummy, but I've come to the conclusion that my shitty no-name UV fliters for all of my lenses need to be replaced with Hoya Super HMC multi-coated UV filters. My 24mm 2.8 and 50mm 1.8 especially ghost so bad, even indoors from most bright points of light. My 80-200 2.8 is not too bad, but could be better.

Amazon.com has them way cheaper than local camera stores, gonna have to get some when i get my Tokina 11-16mm 2.8.

I prefer no filter. Maybe if I got some badass 1.2L lens or something I'd invest in a good one, but for now I don't think about it.

I sometimes need to throw a lens into my bag at a moments notice when changing lenses, without a filter I would probably scratch the shit out of the surface of a lens. Probably another reason that I need two bodies

Thanks. I took about five shots on the motorcycle. That one was my favorite. I plan on trying to take more to get my face centered and more clear. Some pics from last month...

thanks, I want to do some more, but these are the only ones I have twice (worn and new or course)
but I'm starting to ask around if some of my friends have some pairs for me.

I dont know, if you've seen the other pictures I did a few pages before.

I'm liking photojournalism more and more

Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels addressing to the media the details of a bill he's about to sign into state law (something about inheritance tax).

Signing the bill into law

Giving an interview immediately after the bill signing

This was the cover shot of our magazine for Jan/Feb 2012. The guy on the right is the Chief Justice of the Indiana Supreme Court, Randall T. Shepard. He was giving his final state of the judiciary speech to the Indiana General Assembly (after serving as Chief Justice for 25 years), and got a little choked up at the end of the speech, as did the Governor to the left:

Felt like getting out of the office, so I walked around part of downtown Indianapolis on my lunch break. Got these shots, then grabbed some Subway and stopped in a travel agency to inquire about tickets to Poland for late summer
