[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm interested in taking some photos in the home without flash and wondering if anyone out there has experience with tungsten "photo bulbs". Several basic questions: How do they differ from regular tungsten bulbs (burn hotter? hence brighter?) and/or what type of film would a person recommend for this? I shoot alot of Pro400 Kodak and my chart says to rate it slower (ie 100asa) if shooting in tungsten light and add an 80a filter. Any experience out there??? My wife wants me to try to duplicate some "Anne Geddes" type baby photos involving a large flower pot containing our daughter Carolyn-- plants,etc make it hard to set up lighting (seeing where shadows are, etc) and I thought perhaps some "tungsten bulbs" might be easier than flash here... Appreciate any help you may have. Kent Peters
