Actually, sun is the photographer's enemy and it's generally far better to avoid it. For example a cloudy day gives lovely soft diffused light with soft shadows whereas on a sunny day the light is very harsh with horrible hard shadows.
Yes, not so bad. I escaped with a reduced dosage because of what happened last time so my symptoms are much reduced. Everything they give you is like a slow poison... And that's exactly how it feels
Yep.... But hey the heart's the best one. Thank you for your kind words you guys have helped more than you know.... Just goes to show its always better to talk.... Although I'm that kind of of person anyway... I worry for those that aren't.
A lot of people say that about temperatures - I think it's a mix of acclimatization as you suggested, and the level of humidity in each area. When it's subzero here, it's bone-dry: virtually no humidity. To illustrate why that's important, imagine that you have long hair and you take a shower. Then while your hair is still wet, you go outside into the cold air. You're going to feel colder than if you had dry hair. So I think when it's 20s and a little humid, it's understandable that some may find that to be colder than -20 and dry.

The weather here is wild in that it goes between 90ish in the summer to -40ish in the winter and what I consider to be "cold" at any given point in the year varies wildly. Right now, when it hits 20 degrees, brrr! But in a month or two, if it hits 20 degrees I'll be thankful for the relative warmth. My first winter here, we went months without hitting 32 degrees and when we finally did in March, I was in a t-shirt while shoveling snow
And the same is true for the other end of the spectrum. When I first went SW a few weeks ago, and stepped into 90+ degree weather, it was a shock to my system. It took about 3 days before I stopped feeling weakened by it. By the end of the trip I was loving it. And when I got home to 50 degrees, I was layered up like a triple-layer chocolate cake.
ETA cool about your job at Sagamore
Agreed. The wind is the killer. I'd take -20/no wind any day over 0/wind.

I wish you the very best with your reviews. Always a bit daunting the first 3 or 4
All good wishes to you.
You may want to try experimenting with your flash for effects.
@DeloresRose delores I usually advise to not mess with flash until you've got a handle on photography lighting generally.... Probably best to wait for some decent diffused light as you say Delores.... Up to you obviously... Hugs
The pics you post are lovely, you are already skilled at photography, won't be any different with gear reviews.
Ahh that looks cool. Eciggitty eh? American site I’m guessing?
I have 4 and a carbon lol.
