Antarctica Photos

I am a novice with a camera and will be on EXPLORER ll IN jan 08 with the bright sun and white landscape what shutter speed and f stop can anyone help with i will be using ASA 400 im fealing my auto exposure might not be right due to the conditions am i wrong

Why not use a slower film? My reading has lead me to believe that using iso 100 or 200 at most is best. I am taking 200, but most of my serious photos will be with my 2 digital cameras.

I hope we see all your photos on here - only a year now till we go and I am trying to get together all the information I can - I love seeing the photos - have a happy new year and a fantastic holiday

You may also want to take a digital camera with you. That way you can get a feel right away how your pictures are coming out.

ASA 100 or 200; cannot help with f stops and such, but I know I added exposure (counter intuitive) in some cases and bracketed my photos (1/3 stop). If you search a website like pbase for Antarctica photos you can look at EXIF information attached to photos and see if that helps.

One suggestion. If you are taking candid shots of people try to force your flash.
