Three Degrees Fahrenheit
Uploaded: January 30, 2011
Did I ever have stinging fingers after my photo shoot this morn. Mamma Mia!
Any tips on what to wear for gloves? I end up taking mine off to change camera settings and that's when I get into trouble with my hands freezing. It only takes a second for hands to go beet red and numb in these temps.

Whoa -- I can almost feel the cold just looking at this one! Really beautiful! I've got a pair of those gloves that the fingertip parts pop off and on of like little caps, but they're kind of awkward and in any event I've never tested them in that kind of cold. That's the best suggestion I can offer, and it's not very good. #1348726Tammy M. Anderson January 30, 2011
Lovely winter capture and I do just what you do. LOL. #9202891Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna January 30, 2011
BEAUTIFUL, Nancy! :-) k #9202958Ron McEwan January 30, 2011
I would also be concerned about frosted lungs at that temp. I use mittens that fold out so I can use fingers and then fold them back over the fingers. It certainly is a winter scene and captured perfectly #9202985Deb Taylor January 31, 2011

WOW...it's gorgeous!!!!!!!!!! #9204382Nancy J. Locke January 31, 2011
Aw, thanks everyone!The flip mittens would still freeze my fingers because I snap more than one photo. I need something I can keep on while using the camera and hope there is a product out there that works. Thanks for the suggestions. :D

Whoa! Nancy! 3*f is -NOT- WARM! HA! Well TODAY I've got ya beat. It was -9*f earlier here...but NOW it has heated up to a BAMLY -2*f. Oh dear! WHY WHY WHY did I EVER leave CALIFORNIA!!!???Oh, RIGHT. I remember. Because it's so VERY beautiful outside here, just like this amazing image.
Today in the car I was brainless enough to open the window (Pax side) and take a photo with my flat camera. I bet it was -100* with the wind chill at 60MPH!) HOPE IT TURNED OUT GOOD! Haven't checked yet. Fingers are still thawing out! :D
Great job here, dear one!
