Re: Winter shooting

[Ken Sinclair <photo1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ed,
As long as there is "some" sun, winter IR photographs can be as beautiful
and as easy as any other time of the year... as long as there is adequate
personal protection against frostbite and/or the absence of (major) chinook
winds. That being said, there will be the lack of the Wood effect from
deciduous tree foliage on the few trees available to have included in the
landscape.   8-(
I would be tempted to suggest a trip more towards the foothills or south to
Waterton/ Writing on Stone rather than the edge of a stubble field.
