Part 2 of Chris’ and Monika’s trip to Leukerbad and the Gemmi Pass in the Swiss Alps. Do you need a polarizer at altitude? And how about batteries in cold weather?

Chris and Monika take the trip to Leukerbad and the Gemmi Pass, both located in the Swiss Alps to do some winter photography in the snow. Come and take the trip together with us, including the ride on the Gemmibahn cable car, that’ll lift us by over 3000 ft in just a few minutes. And of course Chris has some snow photography tips ready for you in this video.

A test video shot with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II by Chris Marquardt for www.tipsfromthetopfloor.com The video function of the 5DMkII doesn't give me as much control as I would like, but after the first couple of hours of playing with it, I know that even though it's not perfect, this camera is as much a game changer as the 300D was five years ago. Cinematic depth of field, access to all your lenses, superb low-light performance and more. The built-in sound is okay as long as you don't focus, or use image stabilization or touch any other key on the camera, and as long as you're inside.

Wie verrückt muss man sein, eine Berichterstattung wie diese hier nur zu zweit und ohne großes Produktionsteam stemmen zu wollen? Möglicherweise so verrückt wie Boris und Chris?

Wie die beiden das schaffen, verraten sie hier.
