why would you need infrared for sports, especially outdoors?

...just a thought...I like the 'negative' look, if I can get something
going that doesn't require gobs of 'puter time in post, people might like

IR is one of the things landscape types used to do. Blues skies get very
dark, foliage gets bright; rather a neat effect for folks with pretentions
at art. I have no idea of what use it'd be other than that. I had my old 5D
converted, took it out a few times*, and haven't done much with it since
then. The light meter will often be quite wrong, so you need to chimp the
histogram and reshoot.
