I took this picture (http://www.pbase.com/davekennedy/image/40956455/original) in Feb-March time frame using the DS.
I'd been waiting for a cold, clear morning to get the frost in the trees. Heard the forcast the night before, calling for -30C - ish nightime temps. Got up early and drove about 30 minutes to the spot before sunrise. Set up, and then waited. I hadn't taken into account that the sun was going to take about another 1/2 hour before it was going to backlight the trees. Brrr..... The DS worked well, but the batteries didn't fair so well in the cold. They died shortly after this shot. dk On 11/9/05, Gasha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Fred, > > I would like to hear more about cold temperature experiences.
