I begin to realize only now how much it begins to be difficult to combine these two of my great passions: the mountain and photography. The more the conditions are critical and the excursion is difficult and perhaps even dangerous, and more certain photographs are automatically deleted from the head. Thinking of mounting the SLR and the stand now becomes almost an obligation, many times I do it just to not regret.
This picture I took with a temperature that oscillated around -20 degrees, my first battery lasted the beauty of 10 minutes, and the second decided to go all the way. It looks like a bullshit, but when the ice comes straight up against the lens and then completely ruins the picture you begin to lose patience, take the neck warmer and try to clean it, knowing that it should not be done. Obviously having a double pair of gloves I could not even set the camera, and here I have to thank my nose, through this I set the phone diaphragm and time thanks to the app and the wifi. The worst part arrives, disassemble everything: your hands no longer exist, and you know that somehow you have to close the easel that is frozen, remove the lens and close everything in the backpack. It seems masochism, but being able to take home a picture in these conditions reminds you of it. What starts to worry is just that, I'm afraid that the more you increase the difficulty and the more you diminish what can be called the quality of the picture, I hope to be able to somehow maintain this marriage.
