how to use 160 asa indoor with natural light? Am a novice here and was wondering if pictures shot with 160 asa indoors with natural med/low light coming in the widow is possible? Let me tell you why I ask. I have quite a few extra rolls of Fuji 160nps and have not tried any of it yet but, I like the Idea of very low to no grain indoor pictures of the figure bathed in natural light....the film was a little pricey and dont wont to waste it on practice. Of course I realize that you only learn by actually doing. But thought I could get a little feed back or suggestions or thoughts before clicking away this somewhat pricey film. I also will be using a tripod, obviously.

Why not? I mean as long as you are on a tripod (you might consider a cable/remote release as well) and your subject is not moving it should work fine.

Tim, One of the things I do before a critical shoot is plan it. This is more than ensuring there is enough film on hand and fresh batteries in the camera and flash. I estimate working distances, consider the likely amount of ambient light there will be and think about the types of perspectives that will most likely be desired (which affects focal length selection). In short, I game out the shoot in my head well beforehand. If some aspect of a shoot is in doubt I will often perform an experiment and this doesn't always require film in the camera. For your question, it simply requires pulling the camera out, manually setting it to ISO 160 and using its built-in metering to find out what the shutter speeds would be for the desired lens aperture range under the lighting conditions you asked about. You need not burn a single frame of film doing this as you are using the camera's built-in metering as if it's a very large hand-held light meter. -- John
