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.
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?
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.
