Keep your hands warm

[midget patrol]

I use thin glove liners inside of warm mittens. When I want to shoot, I take off the mitts and can use the camera with the gloves on (and still have some warmth). In extreme cold, or if standing around in the cold, my view is you've gotta have mitts, as gloves just aren't warm enough.

and, antarctican, of all people, you would know about keeping warm!

Confession time: when I did the Antarctic and Arctic trips, it was 'summer' there, so not terribly cold! But Toronto in the dead of winter, with -40 C temperatures....now that's cold!!
