Good morning, Marnie here! Doing the apprentice photographer thing with Tim this morning, and trying to walk the dog at the same time. This Feb 3rd we went out to Gosnell Big Woods Preserve in Webster, NY. The temperature was 18 degrees, and weather.com claims it felt like 1 degree. While in the woods trails it wasn't bad as the trees sheltered us from the wind, but while on the field it was chillier. There had been a recent defrost before this freeze so the trail was pure ice in many places. I had the Canon 6d mark ii with the Sigma 70-200 lens plus the 2x tele converter, and the dog was strapped to my belt. I did not use a tripod or monopod today as it is hard to juggle the dog with them. We unfortunately did not see much in the way of wildlife. When we first arrived at 9am two other cars were there, both with dogs. they all quickly put their dogs on leashes, and headed out without problem. While walking through the woods we did encounter one dog off their leash, but it went back to the owner without problem.
