Winter is a conundrum for photographers. On one hand it brings all of the worst possible conditions in which to use expensive photographic equipment – rain, wind and extreme cold. This can make it a bit of a stressful and unattractive season for being out in the elements, taking pictures. On the other hand, it has the ability to transform the landscape into an almost unrecognisable and magic canvas, which is a magnet for all imagemakers. If you want to make the most of winter, and come away with the images you desire, with all your photographic equipment and yourselves in one piece, then you need to learn to adapt your workflow to the challenging conditions.
