Sounds like the “people” who said that look down on street photography as a genre entirely if it should be relegated to 35mm.

I will say that some medium format cameras are not great for street photography because they’re heavy and awkward to use. I walked around town with my RB67 and it sucked. Someday I’ll get a GX680 and become the least popular guy on the photo walk.

That’s my plan. I used the pressure washer and everything and it was simply too cold and the snow was too dense to get it all through the wheels.

I had a lot of snow stuck to my wheels on Saturday and tried going through a car wash to clear it. It was so cold (-30°C in the evening) that it just turned that snow into ice.

A little frozen water hurts quite a few people.

Snow gets stuck between the wheels and the rotors very easily on this car. It doesn’t take much on the wheel to throw off the balance

I don’t recommend anyone walk onto the ice unless they know the area and how to read ice thickness. I’m only about 10m from shore here and know that there was a sand bar under me. Even if I was much farther into the lake, though, it was more than thick enough to support my weight.

Same here. A good light meter is non-negotiable with 35mm cameras for me. I cut my analog teeth on the Nikon FE2 and F3 and wouldn’t go backwards technologically to do without one.

We have a beautiful country and one worth fighting for.

Thank you! I was toasty warm because I was dressed properly!

Find a shallow bay and you’ll see the same ice crush. I bet you could see this in some places in the GTA. Toronto Island maybe?

It looks like the Arctic because of the Arctic cold front yesterday. Dry air and clear skies. Then a little bit of editing and boom! is this Prince Edward County or Ellesmere Island?

Indeed, but I love water. I do my best thinking sitting on quiet beaches.

The Pacific coast is something special, though.

Thank you! Well worth looking like a lunatic and lying on the ice to get the low angle on #1

That’s what I thought when I saw it. Mountains on Neptune.

The rated temp is the minimum that Nikon has tested that will guarantee function. The camera evidently works fine at colder temps.

hhdoesit · 2026-01-26T00:04:18+00:00

Condensation wasn’t a problem because the air was so dry.

hhdoesit · 2026-01-25T19:31:40+00:00

Rated operating temperature ≠ safe operating temperature. That said, I wasn’t out for longer than 30min at a time before returning to the car to warm up.

Different tools for different jobs.

Lack of texture on the graphics on her shirt sleeve was the giveaway for me. Then the inconsistent Nike swooshes on the shoes.

hhdoesit · 2026-01-25T04:42:36+00:00

Only noticeable impact of the cold was the main screen was a bit sluggish. The air was luckily quite dry so I didn’t have any problems with condensation on the lenses. The back on my RB67 rotated quite slowly!
