Shooting Caves Where There is Little Light. I once read to shoot caves (with a hand-held 35mm camera), where minimal light is present, I should choose a high speed film (i.e., ASA 800 or higher). If not, shoot with a slower speed (ASA 100) and use a tripod for clear/detailed prints. Also, change the shutter speed to allow more or extended light exposure. I am a novice at this but wonder which f-stop settings (or whatever) should I use? I've read one must also use a cable release mechanism to ensure against hand-held vibrations. I'd like to slow the flow of water... got any tips? I am shooting a Minlota Xtsi 35mm (with 28mm-80mm & 75mm-300mm lenses). Thanks for your help, Morrie

Well, the faster films are going to give you more grain to your shots, whereas the slower films are more sharp and have very little grain. That is your choice in what you are looking for. If it were me, I would use a slower film and use my tripod. In order to get the soft look of flowing water, you need to use a slow shutter speed which means you have to stop your aperature down. A cable release is a good idea to use (with your tripod) becaues in low light with a small aperature you will notice any type of hand blurring. So to sum it up... try a film of ISO 100, use a tripod, use a cable release if you feel you will need one and use a slow shutter speed (try 1/60 or slower). I hope this wasn't too confusing :o) Good luck on your shots!
