Boris:
Find yourself a large, heavy-duty plastic bag (possibly a clear garbage bag
or somesuch). It should be large enough to fit your camera, your hands and
one extra lens comfortably. Change your lenses inside this bag, on the
ground, facing towards the wind (so that the opening is facing away from
the wind).
I've used this technique before, and it generally works well. The bag
should be heavy gauge, so that "snapping" in the wind won't shred it. You
can also make such a bag out of heavy-duty plastic sheeting available at
hardware stores (the advantage of this approach is that you can custom-size
the bag). This is a cheap, lightweight solution and can be folded and
stuffed into a pocket. It's also easy to dispose of should it get
dirty. Just buy/make a new one!
