Nikon D300 ISO 1250 18-200mm at 40mm f/4.5 1/15 secThe sun had just set and the snow was still falling. The mood was enhanced further by using a tungsten white balance to match the glow from the lamppost. The camera was mounted on a tripod and was protected from the elements in a Kata E-702 Rain Cover.
A word of caution when shooting outdoors in the cold, watch out for condensation. When you take you cold-soaked camera back into a warm environment, it will begin to sweat. If you take your warm camera out into the cold, I can almost guarantee your lens, viewfinder and LCD screen cover will fog. Worst yet, if this condensation begins to form inside your camera or lens' internal elements, you will probably be faced with a costly repair.
There is a simple way to combat this problem. Just keep your camera sealed in a Ziploc bag until the camera stabilizes with the external temperature. Any condensation that occurs will form on the outside of the bag, keeping the camera and lens nice and dry.

The Kata E 702 rain cover is a great tool, it works well.
The main thing I like about the Kata E702 is the full length zipper along the bottom. This makes it both easy to load and unload the camera, and mount the weather protected camera on a tripod.
