Next in the Winter is Coming photo series; 8* F at Palouse Falls.
Palouse Falls is probably on of Washington’s most popular waterfalls. In the spring, it is lined with flowers and a popular photography subject by any photographer. I wanted to go after this falls- in the dead of winter. It is not a common winters scape for the PNW, so I thought it would be a perfect moment to capture.
This photo was literally captured at around 8*F. I had to work fast, not just because even with gloves it is freezing, but even with 5 batteries oh hand I was not going to have a lot of time to shoot. DSLR and Mirrorless cameras alike have one problem in common with batteries; below operating temperatures exhaust them rapidly. In the case of Sony mirrorless it is especially difficult as the battery capacity is about 450 shots per battery.
I had about 8 min of shooting between 5 batteries!
A pro-photo tip: when shooting in freezing temperatures, keep a disposable hand warmer in your bag with your batteries. This can help stay off rapid battery exhaustion.
