Any help about shooting in cold. (Alaska/Canada in Jan) 5D MKII

Will be shooting stills for a movie shooting Jan. in Alaska/Canada.  Found a few things on about shooting in cold weather (Extra batteries, don't bring directly inside without warming, put in plastic bag and let warm up slowly when you do bring inside, etc.) but any help would be appreciated. Shooting 5D MKII.  I seem to remember something about Canon having a cold weather battery pack you could put next to your body, run a cord down your sleeve to the camera and was wondering if something like this existed for the 5D MKII.  Feel free to contact me directly at:    [email protected]

I haven't ever read anything about the battery pack but it could be helpful IF available. You haven't said just how cold you expect it to be, but as a Canadian who knows what cold feels like & who has made a living as a mechanic for a long time cold really takes it's toll. Not only will your batteries need protection but your lenses might too. The cold could tightem internal components to the point they can't move, such as aperture blades & AF components. The snow itself shouldn't be a problem unless you gear is warm enough to melt it on contact. You will however need to shoot about 2 stops over for correct exposures or the snow will be grey instead of white. You might want to Google this & hope to find something from serious nature photographers.

    I am looking for you people.

    You know, I find it frightening to think that somebody out there in E-Business Webland is going to be taking my credit card number for some purchase ...

  • Grateful for any help about iphone 5s thats network blocked

    If the device is blocked there is no way of getting this blocked removed. If the seller is not helping you then this is a bad sign that the device was sold knowing that it had issues. Buying of gumtree is not recommended unless you know what to look for.

    Hi allsorry I'm new to this, but I recently purchased a second hand iphone 5s (of gumtree) to cheer up my son following a family death, now Im on a very tight budget but went into a £100 debt to get this phone, (he was originally askin for £130 but accepted 100 when I offered it) the ad did say that it's on EE network and that was fine with me, but after trying many different sims to no avail I paid £1:99 to get checkmend to run a check to see if it had been reported lost or stolen etc... (tried to contact the seller but had no joy there to) anyway the check showed that although it's not been reported as lost or stolen it is actually network blocked, now I have the original box & charger but I don't know what to do next....any help is greatly appreciatedmany thankslee

  • Desperate for any help about installation

    If anyone can assist me at all with this problem I would be so very grateful.  I have had this problem in the past and I was able to fix it (of course I don't remember how I did it now).  Everything was working fine earlier today with both my desktop and one laptop.  Suddenly,  I cannot see anything that requires flash such as the flash website itself, most stuff on Facebook, etc.  I have another laptop and it wasn't even turned on--I turned it on and, same problem.  
    I cannot go to the Flash website and install it because there is no "install now" button available.  I have unistalled and unistalled 100 times.  I have tried doing it in safe mode to no avail.  I have completely uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it.  I have used Firefox, IE and Chrome.  None of them display the necessary information as required by Flash.  I have done a system restore which didn't help either. 
    Can anyone tell me anything I can do to get this back?  I have tried everything that I know to do.

    After many, many hours of work I wanted to let you know that I finally figured out the problem.  Someone that has more tech knowledge would have probably figured this out in five minutes but it took me a while and I thought I would post in case anyone else is having similar problems.  Turns out it wasn't the flash player that was the problem at all.  After unistalling and reinstalling it over and over along with almost everything else on my computer, a light bulb turned on in my head and I realized that it was indeed a network issue since it was affecting all computers and not just one.  I called my ISP and they told me that they had nothing to do with it, it had to be my computers if I was able to get online at all.  Frustrated beyond belief, I tried some more stuff and finally just did a factory reset of the modem/router.  I had to call the ISP back in order to get them to reset it on their end (they were not the least bit happy that I did this either).  That did the trick! 
    How long it will work, I don't know but I was so thrilled that it did.  If it does this mess again, they are going to replace this crappy modem/router device that I have!  So, anyone that is having problems displaying pages that are Flash-heavy, you may want to contact your ISP (they will certainly be a lot of help), or maybe reset your modem to its factory settings!

  • Need help about how to capture the name of an object before inserting.

    Hi everybody,
    how i can capture the name of an object before it inserts in a table.
    i will use a pre-insert trigger to do this, but i don't know how to specify the name of the object that's inserting.
    any help about this issue will be appreciated.

    Mentioning objects you mean: You have a procedure which inserts data into some table and this procedure needs to know the name of the caller (another procedure or ...)

  • I need any videos i shoot on my iphone, to go to the cloud automatically (when i get an icloud account). the demos show pics and docs going directly, but the demos are ambiguous about short videos i shoot on my phone....help?

    i need any videos i shoot on my iphone, to go to the cloud automatically (when i get an icloud account). the demos show pics and docs going directly, but the demos are ambiguous about short videos i shoot on my phone....not backed up nightly, but available soon.  help?

    Since photo stream doesn't support videos, you would need to use an app to do this.  Dropbox may be a good choice as I believe once enabled, all you have to do is open the app and it will automatically upload photos and videos taken since the last upload to your Dropbox account (see https://www.dropbox.com/help/289/en).  If you aren't familiar with Dropbox, it's a very popular cloud service for hosting files and other media.  Amazon just announced that its Cloud Drive service will soon support photos (http://9to5mac.com/2013/05/10/amazon-launches-cloud-drive-photos-app-for-iphone) /; perhaps it will also be extended to support videos at some point.

    this is what you need to do to exclude everything apart from desktop.
    on time machine preferences, click on Options
    click plus sign, on the new window, click macintosh HD
    do a Control + A then deselect users then click okay
    go to options again, plus sign, go to users, control +A then deselect your user account
    go to options again, plus sign, go to your user account, control + A, deselect desktop

  • When i move a clip into the top project screen, it cuts off about an inch of video. im trying to make a chin face video so i need that inch. any help?

    when i move a clip into the top project screen, it cuts off about an inch of video. im trying to make a chin face video so i need that inch. any help?

    1) Make sure that your project is in the same aspect ratio as your camera. If your camera shoots 16:9. make a 16:9 project.
    2) Check the clip inspector for the clip in your project to see if Image Stabilization is turned on. Stabilization works by zooming in, so you may want to turn it off.

  • I'm using ver. 3.4.5. After having a problem importing  some photo's I now have all my library showing up in the one project. I'm worried about just deleting this project in total. Any help would be appreciated

    After importing a small group of photo's I noticed that aperture didn't create a project for them as usual. The only place I could see them was in last imported. While last importwas open I selected the photo's and told aperture to creat a new project using the selected one's. I named the project with the date using all cap's so I would know which one it was.  What I have now is my whole library showing up in this one project.  If I import more pictures It does two things. A new project is created as it normally does. These new thumbnails also show up in the problem project. I tested to see what would happen if I deleted one old picture while the problem project was open. It went to the trash. It was also removed from its original project.  If I ignore this what seems to happen when importing at this time is that a new project is created that you can open, it acts normal. The file only contains the correct amount pictures.  If I then go to the problem project the thrumbnails show here also.
    About 6 mos ago I switch to Aperture from iphoto. I never combined the two libraries.  I have around twelve thousand photo's. December 1st I backed up my imac with Time Machine. I don't want to back up again until I get this problem in check.
    Thanks for any help, Dale

    Hi Andy,
    I'm using Mac OSX 10.7.5 
    No the one with the caps seems to be working normally.This project with the caps now has four files. Originally I created it with about fifteen. I deleted eleven of them and edited the remaining four. The four files each have one version and its original. It wasn't until after I completed this work that I noticed the privious project when opened and scrolled had the entire library in it.
    The test I did went like this. With the problem opened I deleted one file that I new existed prior to this problem.      I than opened that project that I new it was from to see if it got deleted and found it gone and moved to trash. I think that tells me that if I delete all the files in the problem project I'll be in trouble. I also have inported to projects each with one file that I edited. They are working fine. I took a look in the problem project and this last
    two imports show the thumdnails in it.
    Currently on my Hard Drive I have 275 GB free space.  My photo's take up 138 GB. As I said on Dec. 1st I backed up the system using time machine. So all of Dec. and part of Jan. inports won't be on it. I could work around the problem project and move those file to a safe place. I think it best not to back up the system with Time Machine until I'm confident the Aperture is runing properly. I'm happy that I control these system backups manually.
    I'll need to find out how to copy the Aperture library to another place. I'm sure I can poke around and fined out the process.
    Thanks Andy for the come back!
