I went for another walk today

I went for another walk today · 06:33 PM

Let me start off with my Christmas wishes to everyone.

Here's the pictures from my walk today. I was only ankle deep in show this time so no snowshoes.

This guy kept on moving, so this is the closest thing to a focused photo

I see lots of great photo opportunities there. Really like the finch.

Really nice photos. Here in Croatia snow is late again...
I have one question though, how do you protect your camera while outside in that cold? Did you fall into snow with it?
I am asking because when I went to Plitvice lakes, on the second day it started to rain. Very lightly, but nevertheless rain. And I was too scared to take my camera out and shoot pics.

I like your first and 2nd photos the best.

I like all your shots Stu, but your 2nd is fantastic.

Good Shooting.

Thank you very much everyone.

Branimir, I'm not to worried about the snow here. It's really dry and if you get any on your camera it'll just blow off before it has a chance to melt.
I do carry a compressed gas duster with me like they use to dust our computer internals.
To climatize the camera it's self so it won't fog up I keep it in my case for as long as possible, and then leave the lens caps on for a minute or 2 giving the glass a chance to slowly adapt to the temperature.
I might be doing this all for nothing, but I haven't had a lens fog up on me yet.
Whenever I'm going where the footing is questionable the camera gets packed back up, until it's safe again, and kept on my side which is less likely to come in contact with the ground.
And we don't really get much rain here, even though there's a lot of snow I live in the semi desert.
