Thank you. Not as cold as it is when Lake Huron (the water in the foreground) is frozen. And certainly not as cold as some of the frozen lakes and marshes in Saskatchewan, Canada I photographed in the 1990s. -40° is the same in °F and °C.
Oh my!! I can’t even imagine what that cold feels like. Did it ever affect the camera?
No, it affected the photographer more than that camera. I shot film at -40°C in Saskatchewan, digital at -20°C in Ontario and then managed to get a touch of frostbite cleaning the snow and ice off the car last winter at only -12°C.
Yikes about the frostbite. Hope it didn’t result in any long term damage.
No, it was only mild first degree. The dead skin peeled off after a few weeks.

Beautiful but also, I suspect, cold!
