Golden cold by Andrei Reinol

I love when weather is cold and I mean really cold – when thermometer shows 20 below zero and freezing cold wind blows, the kind that almost feels like it cuts into your skin. That’s when it is highly unlikely to meet someone when walking at the beach. Maybe someone like myself, who enjoys these conditions, but that is quite rare. Of course, when conditions are difficult, that also means that taking pictures becomes more difficult. Getting the right composition, placing the filters – it all takes time – which feels much longer when adjusting setting without gloves in these temperatures. In this case, there was thick steam above water. When some of it fell on my filters, it froze immediately, so I had to clean the filters after every picture. Getting the ice off of glass was time consuming but the light changes with every minute and it is possible to just miss the perfect conditions. Not before looking through the pictures at home, I am able to tell whether I got something I am pleased with or not. However, during this season it is so interesting that no two mornings are the same. And if the light is different then it is possible to get dramatically different pictures from same location. That is why I always try to go out shooting with that kind of cold. Even spots that are photographed a thousand times, may look unrecognizable and offer completely different challenges.
