From March 19 to the 25th I will be in Sarasota, FL covering Spring

Training for the newspaper I work for. I have most mornings off, and

am hoping to get in a little nature/wildlife shooting while there. I

know there are several parks near by, but could use some local

knowledge on the best places to go.

We are staying at a hotel near the Hospital and a local camera shop

if that makes any difference. I don't have the street name with me

right now. The team works out at Twin Pines, I believe that is the

name. I also believe there is a nature preserve just down the way

from the facility.

If any Sarasota native could part with some knowledge of the area I

would be greatly appreciative. It would also be great to go out with

another shooter for company and guidance if possible. I shoot Provia

100F almost exclusively. Any problems with that film?

Feel free to e-mail me. I will get more detailed information on where

we are staying.

Thanks in advance

I have been shooting a lot of Provia 100F this winter. Lots of

Snow/ice and macro work on streams and rivers. Even though I

am braketing my exposures, there is still a bluish tint in the

shadows and snow areas. I do have Sky1A filters on all my

lenses. Exposures are relatively long ( from 1/2 sec. to 4

seconds). And it does not seem to matter if the day is overcast or

sunny. Is this just the Provia emulsion or should I change filters

or what? Should I switch films? Any advice would be helpful.
