Thank you friiskiwi
40 Below Zero?
Shouldn't your camera just freezes and seized up?
There is a story about how Nikon cameras, and Japanese cameras in general, got well known and commercially successful in the West.
It happened during the Korean War. All the Western war correspondents used Western made cameras, like Leica, Voigtländer, Alpa, Rollei, etc, and the poor Japanese correspondents used less expensive Japanese made ones, principally Nikon.
In the harsh Korean winters, (probably 40 Below Zero as well),the high precision Western cameras with little tolerance for mechanical play seized up and stopped working, while the rather basic and mechanically unsophisticated Nikon cameras kept on working.
So the Western correspondents had to start using Nikon cameras.
Thanks a lot Wayne for the interesting story. I am glad I have Nikon
Few years ago it was below 65 degrees here. Air was like a glass. I do not usually take pictures outside when it gets below 30. This was a quick shot. When I got to warm place I kept my camera in the bag for several hours, you know, to avoid dew inside the camera. Actually, for almost 6 years my Nikon has been taking pictures in places from + 40 to -40 deg C. And it still alive, touch wood
Congratulations on the win! Well deserved. Amazing light in your part of the world. I would not brave those temperatures for any reason. I must say that the northern climates certainly had the advantage for this "season" subject. No one can argue that fresh snow is much prettier than rain. Our advantage is that the rain is much easier to deal with after it stops than is the snow. Sigh....... We can't have it all.
Thanks a lot BeSea
