Abstract

This article looks at problems, which may not be encountered in other places, associated with photography in tropical latitudes. It deals with the effects of high air temperatures and high water temperatures as they relate to film exposure, processing and storage. It mentions the effect of tropical conditions on photographic equipment, and difficulties in obtaining materials because of distances from suppliers to delivery point, with reference to the author's experiences in Townsville, Queensland, Australia.
