It’s that time of year again. Along with the end of daylight saving, many of us in the northern hemisphere find ourselves setting off for work before sunrise and returning home after sunset, as well as wrapping up warm for the commute. Sunny day photography is consigned to the weekend but photo opportunities still abound at dusk and dawn – and in the blue hour of twilight.
Any good camera is capable of delivering excellent results in wintry conditions, however, some excel when it’s cold and dark. For starters, mirrorless cameras with their live exposure preview in the viewfinder can make it much easier to see what you’re doing. The boost in brightness is a bonus for composing shots, as well as giving live feedback on how exposure settings will affect the recorded image.
Meanwhile, some of the latest cameras can autofocus in almost total darkness, assuring sharp shots even under a fingernail moon or from the light of a single candle.
