| Because of light (normally dim) large ap, and slower shutter. Maybe f1.4 & 1/8. Depends on iso. Do you have an "auto" setting on your camera? |

| Hi! It all depends on what kind of light you have indoors and what film speed/ISO you are using. By the f/8 @1/250th, I guess it is 100 speed. Indoors, you should try to go to 400 speed and shoot near a widow or other open light. try not to use light bulb or flourescent lights because they will leave a distinct "funky" color on you image. If you are digital, you can correct for this easily by shooting it in B/W or adjusting your settings. For good window light at 400 speed, try f/4 at 1/60 or 1/30 of a second to start and then bracket your exposures (change your aperture or shutter on each image and see which is the best one when you are done). Good luck! |

| For your assignment you will need a sturdy tripod and use a small aperture so you can get the most depth of field. Using the light meter in the camera or an external light meter you will be able to find the correct exposure for your shot.BTW the sunny 16 rule is this. 1/ISO of the film at f/16 in bright sun. |

| Here is what my FotoSharp (fotosharp.com) "Day & Night Exposure Guide" has to say about two indoor scenes:Scene # 9 'Home Interiors - Bright Light'ISO 400f1.4 @ 1/125 sec.f2 @ 1/60 sec.f2.8 @ 1/30 sec.f4 @ 1/15 sec.f5.6 @ 1/8 sec.ISO 800f1.4 @ 1/250 sec.f2 @ 1/125 sec.f2.8 @ 1/60 sec.f4 @ 1/30 sec.f5.6 @ 1/15 sec.With a 50mm lens you might be able to get a useable negative hand-held at ISO 400 w/f2 @ 1/60 if your lens isn't an f1.4. The values for f1.7 or f1.8 would be almost identical to f2. Using a tripod would allow you to stop down to f5.6 but any motion in the scene will be very blurred. As you can see ISO 800 would be even better.Now what if the room is NOT "brightly lit"? Lets look at Scene # 10 'Home Interiors - Average Light'ISO 400f1.4 @ 1/60 sec.f2 @ 1/30 sec.f2.8 @ 1/15 sec.f4 @ 1/8 sec.f5.6 @ 1/4 sec.ISO 800f1.4 @ 1/125 sec.f2 @ 1/60 sec.f2.8 @ 1/30 sec.f4 @ 1/15 sec.f5.6 @ 1/8 sec.IMO you definitely should be using a tripod and a cable release or the camera's self-timer. |
