 Does anyone have suggestions for using cameras in extreme cold? I was
taking some shots at a downhill mountain bike race at the local ski hill; it
about -20c outside -- cold enough that I had two choices;
 
 1. gloves thick enough to keep my hands warm. But then I couldn't feel what
I was doing; adjusting shutter speed et al I could do once at the start, but
I couldn't even tell if I was pressing the shutter release half the time.

 2. gloves thin enough to make the camera usable -- but then my hands got so
cold I couldn't feel the shutter release because my fingers were numb.

 Perhaps I should use a cable release or something else more tactile?
