Re: Re: Photos - 101

Dear Kate,
    I assume you mean 35mm film for your manual camera.  If so, use Fuji Velvia film and a tripod (the film speed is only 50, but the results are superb - what most professional garden photographers are now using).  DO NOT check the film or loaded camera with your luggage.  The x-ray machines are much more intense for checked luggage and can damage film.  Have it with your carry on, and ask for the film to be hand checked.  Not every security control area will hand check film, but many will.
    Good luck,

For the photographers out in GWL land:

I have a trip to England planned next week and would like some advise on photo strategy. I have two simple cameras (no posh equipment).  The manual uses 25mm and I usually get slide film developed to cd and slides. I also have a digital that will take email, print and enlarged format photographs (all with correspondingly high memory use).  I assume that all these will go through the xray equipment (or in my pocket, in the case of the memory card for the digital).

Will these take good enough quality for magazine articles?  What does the term 'camera ready' mean
Any hints that anyone can give regarding taking decent photos would be appreciated!
