We are going to Antarctica, South Georgia, and the Falklands in Feb 2005.
Any suggestions on type of  print film ( Kodak vs. Fuji)  and speed?

I have a Nikon F-100.  When we went to Churchill 2 years ago, I used
mainly Kodak Royal Gold 200 and 400 speed films and got wonderful
polar bear pictures.  I figured I would do the same this time since it is
film I am familiar with.  However, the light is going to be different
so I was not sure if I should use different speed.

Thanks

Use the same film. Light there will be very similar to light you
experienced in the Arctic.

I thought the light would be brighter as in Churchill the sun was low in the
sky and it was dark at  4:30.  It will be nearly 24 hours of light in
Antarctica.  I do plan to use filters as needed.  Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Oh, no it won't. The light in the Antarctic will be upside-down!

Well I just discovered that Kodak does not make the Royal Gold anymore.
I have emailed them about their high def film but wondered if anyone
has used it or has other suggestions?

I want to try several rolls of whatever film I use before next year
so I am not experimenting on the trip.

Thanks in advance for your help.
