Layer for Arctic cold
Use a breathable base layer, an insulated midlayer, and a windproof shell—temperatures can drop quickly on the fell.
Protect camera batteries
Keep spare batteries warm in an inner pocket; cold drains power quickly during long shoots.
Footwear traction
Wear stiff winter boots that fit snowshoes; cold, wet feet end a photo day early.
Mind the light window
Plan compositions around low-angle light; mid-afternoon can produce long shadows and texture.
Insulated, waterproof winter jacket
Keeps you warm during long photography stops on the exposed fell.
