 A kind of desperation shot. I had sort of planned to take an indoor shot during the day seeing that I had three periods off (kids were doing tests). However, I was too busy with schoolwork (bluh) and I didn't have my remote control either...
As I was about to go home, I saw a hawk flying around and took a few shots of him. I sure wish I had a decent long lens.
So here's a handheld SP. I meant to get Mt Nantai in the background, but at least I was clever enough to get the pole growing out of my shoulder rather than my head.

Do you get the feeling that I was suffering from the bitterly cold wind and my eyes were watering?

You certainly look cold, although you manage to wear a serene expression.

I could tell by the eyes and red nose it must have been cold.

Its very personable to see the 'original' handheld sp. We all do it, and it is very clever to make sure the pole was not in your head. L()L. I look forward to seeing more 'imagination' from you as I am sure you will offer. (-;

It does look cold! Definitely looks like you were not enjoying being in front of the camera, or out in the cold!

David,

Glad to see you're in this. I really can't wait to see what you're going to do this time around. And, yes, it does look bitterly cold.
