Advice on Photo Trip to China

[gr82bart]

Do you know of a site with images of Guilin?

Here's a couple I quickly found:

Looks like you will have lots of great picture opportunities.

Art,

Thanks for those sites. They gave me a good idea of the lay of the land. I see you like to shoot B&W Infrared as well. I'll have to post some of my infrared work sometime. I just shot a couple rolls in Vancouver, B.C. and have yet to develop them.

I'm still considering having my HIE hand inspected on the way there and developing them in my friend's apartment. I will of course bring powder chemicals.

just to return to your original question, I wouldn't worry at all about travelling with IR film in the CARRYON x-rays. I've taken HIE through the x-ray machines in Cambodia, Singapore, Amsterdam, New York, and Washington DC (all on one trip), and had no fogging or problems.

Was it Kodak IR film that you had xrayed? If it even comes out of the plastic film canister it will get fogged. I've already had it happen to me when I forgot to unload my rewound film from my camera to the plastic canister. I had a consistent light leak from my light trap that went through every single layer. I was thinking of putting my still sealed boxes in the lead xray bags and keep in my carry on.

I will try several options and just take lots of photographs.

Thanks, Kate
