Up early to get some shots of frost on the pumpkin - or on the cat-of-nine tail or thistle http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/37560680 At 17 degrees (F) I took along a chemical handwarmer and that sure helped. The D70 is still wrapped in a plastic bag to hold down the condensation. The D70 battery sure holds up better than the CP5700's. Cold weather photography isn't what it's cracked up to be. First snow is forecast for this weekend.
