Neill Watson is a pro-photographer shooting for car magazines across Europe, here are his tips for photography.

Number one - safety. The pictures you see on the Ice Driver website were created on a specific photo shoot. This should NOT be attempted under any circumstances. The locations I stand when working with Andy are carefully pre-arranged. Even though we work together all the time, we still have a safety brief beforehand to create shots like the ones here. Only stand where the Ice Driver staff say you're allowed and don't be tempted to move closer 'just for a few seconds'.

Temparature.
The north of Sweden is a spectacular photo opportunity, but a formidable one for cameras. Unless you own a pro-spec DSLR, you will have problems with batteries dying in the cold. This can be mitigated by keeping the battery in an inside pocket in between uses. Even if the battery appears to die, a few minutes somewhere warm will nearly always bring it back.

If it's a spectacular day, get moving and don't forget to shoot! The first time, you'll be so busy going "Wow!" that you can miss it. The light changes from minute to minute at these latitudes and you can't afford to hang about.

General.
Always shoot with your camera's quality setting on it's highest. It uses more memory card space, but cards are cheap, so bring plenty of spares. After all, you've come a long way and it would be a shame if that killer sunset you captured won't print big enough to hang on the wall.
Don’t be shy, shoot as much as you can and edit the shots later when you return home. You’ve travelled a long way to be on a frozen lake, so make the most of it!

Photography usage.
Ice Driver Ltd are happy for you to shoot photographs and video for your own personal use. Commercial use of any material you shoot must be discussed and the relevant clearance obtained.

Finally, have a great time!
