Where to eat in New Orleans: Six of the best new Big Easy restaurants
Tips for Shooting in Extreme Weather
DP Tom Guilmette is on assignment at the summit of New Hampshire's Mount Washington where the temperature is 6 degrees F and the windchill is -25 at 60 miles per hour sustained. He's figured out how to capture time-lapses at those extreme temperatures and he's sharing that knowledge on his blog.
He writes, "I am using a bunch of gear that I built just for this extreme environment. Over the last few weeks, I have been racking my brain and making trips to Walmart and Home Depot. I tested stuff in my freezer at home! At the time of this blog, I have shot four time lapses up on the summit with 100 percent success in ridiculous weather. The custom heated camera enclosures I designed and built for less than $100 each are actually working. Go figure!"
