Thanks Eric..coming from you it is a compliment...I am sure you would have come with some incredible iR pictures with this lighting...it was a dull day though but luminous, the sun diffusing through the clouds..the black and white choice change totally the mood...
..and I am envious of your magical places too....

Well, we'll have to setting on a mutual admiration club! Here the light is good these days, but it is below freezing most days, and well away from spring, sadly...though when spring does arrive, I will have my newly converted Canon 5D MKII for infrared, which will be quite an upgrade from the Nikon D80 I currently use! Bring on the light!

do you really think the result will be a lot better with the Canon 5D MKII? what performance are you looking for? will you still stitch plenty frames even with an upgrade of pixels?
I tend to believe that the art is more in the eyes of the photographer than the material....and cannot imagine what improvement you can do with your so perfect pictures...

and ok I will bring you the light and the heat!!

The 5DM MKII will do a number of things for my images - more pixels is certainly one of them; I still stitch (I already have my colour MKII), more actually, as I get more benefit from 2-3 frames stitched than I used to (going to 30-40mp where before that would have taken 10-20 frames to achieve). This week I ordered a nine-square foot (about 1 square meter) print of one of my frozen flowers...it was an 11 frame stitch with the MKII...that would have needed something like 30+ frames from a 12mp camera to provide the same resolution and angle of view...quite a difference in work!

But there are other reasons - shallower depth of field from proportionally longer lenses (an 85mm f/1.2 has much less DOF than a 50mm f/1.4, and with the 24mm f/1.4, I'll be able to take images with a wide lens that have shallow depth of field), and full frame camera means access to proportionally wider lenses - Sigma makes a 12-24mm that covers full frame, which is about the equivalent of an 8mm for an APS-C sensor...which just doesn't exist...and that is 27% wider than you can go with a 10mm lens on APS-C. And of course, there is just the personal preference of camera design - I have always loved the wheel on the back of Canon's mid and high level camera...the Nikon D300 is a magnificent camera, but I prefer the design of the MKII...
