Thought I'd venture out this morning and get a little more accustomed to my new 15mm fisheye lens and I'll tell you what, when facing a stiff SOUTHwest wind at -2F, I had eyes instantly running and freezing to my eyelids. Ouch. You would think a wind outa the south would warm things up a bit, but no. An hour later and my eyes are still burning a bit, and I was only out a couple minutes. Makes me wonder how wildlife makes it thru the winter. Funny though, you'll hear birds chirping in this brutal cold just as you would on a warm summer morning.
So here's a couple pics taken in haste. The simplest of tasks get amazingly difficult in this kind of cold, ie. leveling tripod, making sure cable release out of way, changing camera settings with gloves on, etc!
