Hi all I am in the very fortunate position of going to the Ice Hotel in Sweden thanks to a kind friend who has won a competition! However, I have heard that taking photographs in sub zero temperatures brings with it special challenges, and that my Nikon D50 battery won't last more than an...

Thanks guys, that really helps me a lot. Really appreciate the trouble you took to reply. Helen :0)
