I’d say that shot definitely warrants cold fingers

Lovely and delicate, it has an ethereal air to it. Gorgeous.

This shot was certainly worth a few cold fingers! It sounds like you had a great time.

The blue cast you caught in the waterfalls is beautiful…and I certainly agree that blue was a very appropriate color!!!

You can get mittens that the top half unfolds and has semi exposed fingers. I was at Gander Mountain yesterday and they had some, and I’ve seen them in the past at the local Menards for roofers. They are cheaper then mittens labeled for photography and they work quite well in the cold and snow.

The other alternative is hand and foot warmers. I always have a couple in my camera bag this time of year.

That is quite a photo! It was difficult to stop looking at it.

I know the feeling of not feeling your hands, but what would you not do for the art, or at least for the fun of photography?

Great story, thanks for sharing it. Earl and his wife sound like good people. Poor Earl. He must have been hoping that you would cry “Uncle” first. The photo does an excellent job of capturing the scene you describe. I love the blue tones.

I’m thinking that 29 degrees may be a bit below my limit. We haven’t had really bitter weather yet, but it’s around the corner. Soon, I will find out what I can withstand. I have ordered some glove liners to see if that will help keep my hands semi-warm after I remove the heavy duty gloves.
