RE: help with indoor exposures needed

Hi Sarah,
I'll share my two cents for all it's worth. I shoot 125 asa and 400 asa B&W
from Photo Warehouse in my Zero 2000. Mostly though I use the 125 asa film. I
am also a "shoot with the seat of your pants" type pinholer. On a sunny day my
outdoor exposure is roughly 4 to 6 seconds, a cloudy day/shade is 8 to 12
seconds. So when I move indoors I use a method that I use with my students.
Within 6" to around 3' from a brightly lit window I double the outside time in
the shade to 16 to 24 seconds. As I move further into the room I continue to
double the further I get away from the natural light. Most days this works well
and we get consistent results. I've tried to develop an intuitive sense for the
light levels around me and shoot more on faith. Rarely am I disappointed. Well,
that's just one pinholer's opinion.
Good luck and shoot and have fun.
Take Care,
