or do other photo junkies stand out in +3 degrees weather on a Satuday morning taking pictures of weird frost formations on the back window of their automobiles?

Just make sure your wearing something underneath for when the wind inevitably blows it up.

Nope, some of us get up early enough to photograph the dawn from the coldest place they can find with winds hitting in from 3 directions. (yep, me last year. Idiot.) (",)

I've done crazier things, I'm sure, but can't really recall them at the moment. Neat shot! Technical details?

uh mysnapz, your not supposed to....nevermind...nice boots! Misha, tech details, shot with oly c4040zoom, on macro with 43mm screw on adapter with a +10 macro lens thingie shot at f10 + or -, with very cold fingers and nose... post processing, duplicate layer decolorized and unsharp masked then merged and a little contrast after fingers got warm enough to type and mouse with... it only took me 220 shots to come with 4 or 5 that I thought I could do something with.... if it wasn't for digital, I couldn't survive in this hobby...
