The morning started with a bit of sunshine, then it started snowing a whole lot. Then the sun peeked out for a moment until the snowfall intensified again. And then the snowing suddenly stopped and now it’s a gorgeous afternoon with the sun shining from a blue sky. Too bad for the wind though. Anyway, I preferred the snowfall. The last time I saw it fall this heavy was in last May (yes, May). If only it could snow like this the whole day! The snowfall gave me another opportunity to test the Storm Jacket camera cover I bought recently. (Yes, I do dress up my camera on occasion.) The Storm Jacket provides snow and rain protection and I thought it would be better than the improvised ”plastic-bag-and-tape” systems I’ve been using so far. And sure enough, the Storm Jacket works. Of course it complicates matters a little bit, but so does any rain/snow protection system you would use. The only negative thing I would say about it is that it’s not perfect with a long lens with its own tripod collar attached to a tripod. Need to keep a shower cap handy to protect the back of the camera. But like I said, shooting in difficult conditions will always be a bit more challenging regardless of the gear you use so I’m glad I got the jacket.
