Shooting Indoors where Flash and Tripods not used. Hi, I recently went to the Oriental Institute in Chicago. I was told before going that Flash and Tripods weren't allowed. With that in mind I took my light meter, 800 ASA film and shot at 60 speed and most of the appetures settings were 5.6. Now question what film, speed, lens would you chose for such a project. What filter would you use. There wasn't a lot of available light in the museum. I plan to go again next month so any help appreciated. I had thought about 400 film but without a tripod I thought would make it difficult.

Mike, these situations are almost unshootable because of the minimal light. You could try using Tmax 3200 rated at 3200 or push to 6400. That will result in a grainy image, which could be nice and different. What I do is ask the public relations person at the Institute if there is any time available, however short, when you can use your flash for a short time. Maybe they will let you in a half hour before opening to get your pictures. Good luck!
