Indoor Photos - Please! Hello. I wonder if anyone can give me a few tips on shooting indoors with a 35mm camera (Lomo). My intention is to take a series of shots of the place that I work, and portraits of the people that I work alongside. I'm really trying to capture the character of the place and people, and am keen that the photos have an 'arty' feel to them (hence the Lomo). My problem is this - I am concerned that the strip lighting in the fairly badly lit office where I work will make all the photos come out yellow, or too dark. I have considered black and white, although would rather stick to colour for atmosphere purposes. As everyone at work is busy, I will only have a single oppotunity to take my photos, and won't be able to use any extra lights etc, so I would like to make sure that I'm going to get some reasonable photos before I take them! I'll be shooting without a tripod or lights, and at varying distances from the subjects. Can anyone offer me any tips on types of films and techniques that I might find useful - I'm pretty inexperienced, but have a real enthusiasm to take some cool photos! If anyone has any tips on this sort of thing - technical and stylistic, then I really would appreciate your help. Thanks,

I would find out what type of lighting the office has and then consider Tungsten film. It is a film used for indoors under lights and you won't get the green/yellow look with using it. Or, if you have windows around and can buy a fast film speed, such ISO 800-1600 you can try that. Those are fast film speeds and will allow you to hand hold your camera in lower light. However, they are also higher in grain. Go to a good camera shop and ask for more info, they should be able to help you also. Good luck!
