I'm going to be a photographer for a wedding in Guatemala this July Please advise what film to for a SLR 35 mm camera. I'll be using mostly B&W. Also there's a chance that it might rain what can i put on my camera so that it wont get wet since the wedding will take place in the ruins of Guatemala (outdoors). Wish me luck! Thanks! If you are dealing with the traditional black tux and white wedding dress situation, there are a lot of good high contrast B&W films out there. Try TMax400 CN for starters. If it's bright and outdoors, try the 100 version. If you are shooting any color shots, I like Fuji NPH 400...almost no noticeable grain. If your film is not high contrast enough to cover the range, meter to get the wedding dress white...a photo with a white wedding dress and a grey tux is better than a photo of a black tux and a grey wedding dress (brides tend to be more particular than the grooms)...do a spot reading on the dress, then compensate 2-3 stops of overexposure to get it white (you might want to bracket). If you are using flash, be sure to diffuse or bounce your light...direct light looks horrible on a shiny wedding dress. For an inexpensive wateproofing setup, consider the aquapacs (link below)...but I don't think you will be able to fit a flash in there. You might also want to consider one of those x-ray proof film bags for those scans at the airport; however, with low ISO films, it probably won't be an issue if it's unprotected. Have fun!
