Finishing the Macchiato (i love the name) I headed to the nearest waterfalls, Taughannock Falls (State Park) about 8 miles from Ithaca. Its one of those places I like to visit once every season. After getting few shots of the falls, my hands were freezing. I decided to drive back and reached the lower side of the falls that has a state park next to the Cayuga Lake. The site was just too beautiful to resist getting out of the car and remember I just read an article on winter photography and thought I was well dressed for the adventure.
After about 10 minutes, I had 3 useful and 5 useless shots and I was running back to the car. I had no feeling in my ears, my nose was frozen, I couldn't feel my hands inside the gloves, it was 12F (-10C) with a wind chill of -4F(-18C) in the open. So was the shot worth the pain?
