During the winter it gets a bit harder to find the motivation to grab your camera and go make pictures.  The thing that I hate the most is when I am out shooting and I can no longer feel my hands.  Or when you have to make a finite adjustment to your camera and you can't quite hit that little button without taking off your glove…at which point you are screwed because you've exposed your skin to the elements. All complaining aside, I think getting out and shooting during the winter is a true test of commitment and motivation.  If you can muster the courage to brave the elements more often than not you will be rewarded for your efforts.
