Gentlemen,

The very first Tweed Run in Helsinki was organized this year, but with a bit of a twist, as you can see from the very inspiring photos. Alas, I learned of the event when it had already passed, but I’m really looking forward to take my new Guv’nor to the event next year if it will be arranged again.

Bravo! Nice work. How do your batteries on the camera fair in the icey conditions?

Dear Sirs,

I must emphasize that I learned of the event when it had already passed and therefore was unable to take part, nor are the photos taken by me. As for photographing in such conditions the temperature cuts the battery life pretty much in half, but I think that it is still enough on my Canon EOS. However, I consider using cameras that require batteries unorthodox when shooting Tweed Runs. Having said that, I’m really looking forward to snapping some pictures of my Guv’nor with my Zorki S (http://camerapedia.wikia.com/w.….ki/Zorki_S)!

Mr. MGcC, You propably figured it out yourself already, but the text under the photos says that it was –20 celsius degrees that very day. It could have been colder, but then I would have considered it to be extreme by my standards as well!

Yours,

Miikka
