I really love winter. It's so... monochrome
I kinda screwed this one up majorly, but at the same time I like it somewhat =)
I've got a really nice DSLR, but I still like the look of snow of B&W film. It's my favorite time of year to shoot outdoors.
Simple 4x5 like a speed graphic or pinhole could still be easy in bad weather. I use a speed graphic or 120 TLR for most of my winter film shooting. Extreme cold tends to slow down shutters a little, overexposing some if you don't compensate.
Here's a handheld speed graphic shot from a couple years ago in the winter. I usually use a tripod.

Ok, this is three days before the official start of winter but it's cold enough to be a bit worrying. And winter in Australia is of course six months out of synch with the northern hemisphere.

It is only April and the snows have started. The road out has no snow plough service and if there isn't a break in the weather the car will stay there until September. This is not good for an automobile.
