I am in need of a little advice from either #Scandinavian Users and/or #Photographers.

I'm off with my Wife to Tromsø at the end of the month for a week. I want to take my digital SLR with me (Canon EOS 500D.. a bit long in the tooth but it does me)

Two questions. I have neither a fancy heated lens nor massive battery pack (I do have a few spare batteries though)

If I'm going to be out in sub zero temperatures (hopefully photographing some Aurora!!) how can I stop (a) my lens freezing over and (b) the cold draining my batteries too quickly?

is this even going to be an issue? I have seen USB powered "Dew heaters"?? but they too need to be powered by a battery pack. I'm puzzled if they'd even be any use.

Please boost for reach.

All info greatly appreciated.

Read into it what you want.

Personally, I doubt Trump likes lutefisk or pickled herring.

This is most likely just another outlandish comment intended to keep the American public off-balance.

"The only thing that #russia ever created for the civilised world was fear and death, via conquest of land, warfare, starvation, torture, not forgetting their predilection for rape!"🤮🤮🤮

#Russian propagandist #Solovyev said that #Russia "de facto" created the statehood of the #Baltic and #Scandinavian countries.
