What is 15 degrees Fahrenheit equal in Celsius? My short answer is that 15F is too cold to leave the pub, so Google it on your phone and then we’ll both know!

Sometimes Seamus-the-Dog and I take short adventures together. Last week we nipped over to Strasburg just after sunset. Cold weather often contributes to great evening light and I was looking for an excuse to work with my 3Pod Everest tripod.

Something called an ‘Everest’ just doesn’t convey the sense of a warm weather device, and I bought this tripod for my winter night photography.

While Seamus sat in the comparative warmth of the car, I made a series of photos of the Strasburg Rail Road in the fading glow of a cold evening.

Among the benefits of my 3Pod tripod is that its easy to set up. This is an important consideration when the stinging winter air limits the amount of time I’m willing to invest in night photos before I run out of patience.

Gloves would be a good thing to consider next time around, and perhaps a scarf!
