I took today a lot of photos of rose berries. Perhaps this was because they are now one of the rare sources of bright color here in Finland.
It was a nice, partly clouded day, and we took a walk which all in all lasted about three hours. Tomorrow it is expected that we will have a lot of snow, perhaps even a snow storm, so then it will be quite different.
In addition to the rose berries, I took a lot of photos of the children playing. They are used to the camera (well, with all this photography they should be), so I didn't much affect their playing.
Before today I didn't remember one of the big problems of winter photography: freezing hands. It seems that I have to develop some kind of technique for this. Of course, this also limits the number of photos taken, because you need to keep your hands warm and can't be shooting all the time. Perhaps a combination of thin gloves and leather mittens might do the trick. But the LX3 at least didn't have any trouble functioning in below freezing temperatures.

Very beautiful, both of them!
Now that we have a lot of snow here in Finland, it is even more difficult to find sources of bright colors. But I guess there has to be some...
Of course, snow also simplifies the scenery, covering a lot of complexity away from view. In that sense there are new apporturnities for photography, especially towards more abstract compositions. Have to see if this direction is fruitful.
hi
iive been outside a few nights here in the cold and the lx3 worked well- granted its not as cold here as in your country. i find the problem occurs hen you bring the cam back in and its starts getting condensation, so you have to warm the cam up slowly
Yes, that is worth remembering. So far no problems. I did quite a lot of winter photography with the Ixus 400 and never had any problems with it, but you never know until you try.
