One thing you can’t help learning about photography is how your work compares to others. Just as if someone placed a file on your desk with something wrong with it, photographic source material can have the same problems.
The battery life inside a camera is very changeable. At low temperature your camera’s computer brain may not work or render a readable LCD message. The memory stick reader may flub its job. The lens assembly may be sluggish, taxing even more battery power to get it working right. A lot of sludgy cold weather shots come from grudging assembly workings.
How your camera works on two high power super charged double AA or Lithium ion+ at hot temperatures fully juiced is a far cry from the cold snap of dying copper tops languishing in twenty five degree cold with a wind chill factor next to gray water. Rubbing up some frictional heat into those jobbies won’t be fun because your hands will be icy stumps at that point.
A music video that has been haunting me with its transparent yet elegant photographic genius is the Yeah yeah yeah’s “Heads Will Roll” video viewable at Mtv.com and Youtube.com. this video has a lot of photography in it.

But getting that great image can be difficult form frame capture. Video that moves very fast can interleaf key images together.
