I am going to be going to a Nature reserve over December and I am first of all unsure of what film to use? Secondly when I use my 75-300mm lens to its maximum zoom in the day, do I need a tripod to get clear shots or will hand held be fine? My problem is that I will be in the car most of the day, I have seen these bush bags which you place on the window but do they work?

Please excuse, I am still in the early days of studying and would like to achieve some beautiful photo's to show you all

As long as the motor is not running you can use these bean bags. If the motor is on, you will have more vibrations from the car itself.
For sharp pictures a tripod is always recommended

If you can keep your shutter speeds up over 250 you could hand hold, but I would use a tripod or at least a monopod, and as for film I use mostly Fuji films like Superia and have been very happy, I would bring a few speeds 100 if your shooting with plenty of light or using a tripod also some 400 and even a couple rolls of 800 just be carefull to keep track of what your using

Film is cheap its better to have to much than run out, I will keep an eye out for your photos

have a great time
