My short answer is  that 15F is too cold to leave the pub, so Google it on your phone and then we&#8217;ll both know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something called an &#8216;Everest&#8217; just doesn&#8217;t convey the sense of a warm weather device, and I bought this tripod for my winter night photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;m willing to invest in night photos before I run out of patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gloves would be a good thing to consider next time around, and perhaps a scarf! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"316\"
