Indoor Photos I bought my first dslr about 3 months ago (nikon d50) and can't seem to get a handle on indoor photography. I read "understanding exposure" by Bryan Peterson which was great for learning the effects of aperature and shutter speed. In his book he recommended setting either the aperature or shutter to the desired effect then adjusting the other until the exposure meter shows a correct exposure. This works great outdoors but indoors it causes the shutter speed to be so slow everything is a blur. If I set the camera on auto and make note of the settings it used, I have to underexpose about 6 full stops to match the results. Also with my WB at auto pics are orange, on incad. they are blue. but on full auto they are fine. Is there an in between setting I don't know of. I'm sorry this was long winded but any help would be appreciated.

Hi Troy, slow shutter speeds and blurry photos mean you need a looooot more light to reach the cam's sensor when you're inside. There's a few things (and combinations thereof) that you can do: 1) set cam on tripod and allow for those long shutter speeds;

Dunno about your WB probs. Sounds as if it's way off. Have you compared with another cam shooting exactly the same scene? Or can you shoot RAW and adjust WB in PP?

Oh yeah, there's another thing you can do to get more light reaching the sensor: up the ISO setting. This will also increase noise, but that can be neutralized to a large degree with Noise Ninja or some such app.

Thanks W.S. I'll give all that a try. I think the ISO may be it. I was shying away from the higher ones because of the noise. I went a little higher and the noise wasn't too bad unless I enlarge. Thanks for the help.
