Yes, definitely some heavy experimentation is in order. I just read that early in the morning there is more natural IR, so I am very affraid I will have to be on the field so early. ;) > Sent from David's iPad Say thanks to David! > From: Andrew Davidhazy <andpph@xxxxxxx> > When they do the conversion they replace the camera's infrared blocking > filter with and infrared transmissive filter (but light blocking) and since the > CMOS or CCD sensors are infrared sensitive you can expect significant increases > in "speed". > Basically, I am competing against myself - the filter gives me the IR, while the unmodified sensor in the camera tries to block it - I hadn't thought of this and it totally explains the steep compensation factor.
