Michelle...

All sorts of areas are wonderful for shooting in Florida, it depends on what
you shoot.

The best sunset series I ever shot was on the water above Fort Myers.  You
can get astoundingly close images of alligators in Shark Alley.  The
mangroves are stupendous in the Everglades.  The old hurricane-washed-out
railroad bridge on Bahia Honda has wonderful angles to work with and some of
the palms along the shore are postcard perfect.  Discovery Island in Disney
World has critter shots just waiting for an opportunity to be taken.  The
old fort at St. Augustine begs for an extended black and white effort [and
the Brandy Alexander's we had during the snow/ice storm of '90(?) there are
very dear memories to my wife and I].  And, of course, great people shots
are available everywhere you go.

Most of my experiences have been along the southern coast with the Gulf
thrown in for good measure.  If you keep your eyes open, the shots will
unfold right in front of you.

Hi Luggers,

I´m planning a trip to Florida.

1. Are there known problems for film-material (50-200ASA)
with X-Ray Machines at Miami Airport (checked baggage and
carry-on baggage)?

2. Do you have any advice for great fotopoints in Florida?

Thanks for your help!!!
