Response to low temp. shooting

Being that winter is the time for static, before you go out (or load film in your camera), wipe the inside of your camera with a good anti static cloth and then blow it out with canned air. DO NOT use motor drive or winder if at all possible or you run the risk of "lightening" marks on your film due to the static discharges when transported rapidly. Be also aware of condensation. If you are going in and out of a warm building, try to keep the camera either cold (leave it out in a "Army Ammo case" or something that is somewhat protected) or keep it in your coat until you are ready to shoot. Without a doubt, get a good UV or skylight filter. Cheers
