PHOTO TIPS
Whether you are a beginner or an advanced photographer, with a
little preparation, you can create some excellent photographs while
you visit Scenic Caves Nature Adventures.
The first thing that most photographers encounter in the Caves
is that a camera lens attracts moisture. Warm the lens by wrapping
a hand around the lens barrel. A lens tissue or cloth can also
momentarily alleviate this problem.
Please do not venture off the trails and destroy the delicate
environment you hope to document. Maximize your options by arming
yourself with a zoom lens. If you must choose a single, fixed focal
length lens, think wide. Many times, anything narrower than a 28-mm
lens fails to completely capture the enveloping, three-dimensional
nature of the landscape.
It is possible to get some really great shots out of the microchip
generation of "instant" cameras. Probably the most important
way you can help your camera is by feeding it the right film. You
must control it with your choice of film speed, since you can't
control exposure when you snap the photo.
Use ASA 200 film for macro shots, pictures of small rooms and
walls about 15 feet away, ASA 400 film will extend your range to
about 20 feet. If most of the features you will photograph are
large or darkly colored, choose a faster film. If you plan to focus
on closer, smaller details consider shooting with ASA 100 or 64
film. Slower films have smaller grain and produce sharper images.
