Ouch, that's definately brutal. And how about clothing? We had four or five layers of clothing, mind you, so apart from exposed extremities, it was actually pretty comfy. I had thin gloves inside huge mittens to avoid exposing my hands while shooting. The gloves sufficed for snap sessions up to 15 minutes before feeling the cold. And btw, the snowmobiles had heating elements in the handlebars. :-) Pics will probably have to wait a couple of days. I only have about one hour computer time today, and none tomorrow. -- http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/ http://alunfoto.blogspot.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
