CLOSEUPS-INDOOR LIGHTING--(66)


.....next....This picture was taken in a closed verandah, where the sky has thrown sufficient light for a handhold shot with a kit lens in Dslr. Such photos can be shot with prosumers or compacts. Use of light in verandah gave a background of whitewashed effect, because it was needed a bigger aperture inside in comparison to what was needed outside.

2. Thus, great effect pictures can be taken using an open window, or window covered with a net cloth giving more softer light in case of children and ladies portraits...Next is an easily approachable portion of a house is a side wall casting more than 10ft shadow outside...the effect will be as good as in a verandah, keeping aperture half stop down in case of dslrs and half stop minus exposure compensation in prosumers and compacts, keeping the subject 4 to 5 ft away from the wall to make the things on it out of focus. Porch is also a good place for shadowless photography. There is one more source and that is the built in flash of your camera. The advantage in indoor photography is that there is less faster movements. Yes children are active and here they will give good poses with camera's flash. However, it should be kept in mind while photographing small children below 4-5 months, to avoid use of flash since it throws white and bright sparkle of light which may affect their eyes. LAST but not the least...in your home you can enjoy candle light dinner keeping camera on a tripod and self also keeping still using self-timer method.
