Film? You hero.

A lot of the people here have only got digital cameras and so a lot of the info here is applicable to that medium.
There are however a few crumbly old gits like me who remember that 'real' photography used to be all about silver halide crystals and not pixels.

Keep posting and sod the bandwidth - that's what it's here for - as long as you follow the image-posting guidelines you'll be fine.

What film/lens combinations do you use?
With the light you have available down there, you want to be using a medium-speed/fine-grain film to get the best possible quality from your images. Other considerations would be slide or neg film depending on wether you want to project your images or make prints from them. If you want to sell your images, it used to be the case that slide film was the way to go.

These days with the increasing move towards digital capture as the accepted form of all phographic imagery-generation, other considerations come into play.

Keep asking questions, mate and we'll do our very best to keep the answers coming.
