If the Flash photos this scene, close to the camera lens is bright, the scenery is bound to the distant scenes appear dark, destroyed the original light effects.

Available light photography is translated terminology, it has two main features:

(1) it refers to the use of the scene of the original light and not by the photographer plus light in shooting events.

Whether indoor or outdoor, who was taken to the existing artificial in the scene lighting and daylight, are available.

Existing light including table lamps, wall lamps, Ceiling lamps, fluorescent tubes, spot lights, neon lights, candles, fireplaces, bonfire, the evening sky as well as filming the original other light sources emit light from the window onto indoors in sunlight also belongs to an existing light areas.

In other words, the existing light is family, public places, schools, restaurants, hotels, shops, theatres, light sports scene and Auditorium in formation of a light type, dawn or dusk of outdoor scenes later, also belongs to an existing light scenes.

(2) existing light is an illumination low dark weak light, with dark weak light photography.

It is the use of filming on photographic exposure "just enough" light for shooting activities. Daylight outdoor sunlight and do not have this feature, do not belong to the dark weak light, does not have an existing light styling features, cannot be called an existing light. Otherwise, any kind of light can be counted as an existing light!

Available light photography has its own characteristics:

(1) light atmosphere of the true nature

Use of existing light filmed images look light effect of realistic, light atmosphere of the true nature, especially with color film, and also record the site original atmosphere and colour.

Available light photography rich vivid light effects and gradation of change is the artificial lighting means hard to complete.

(2) not to interfere with the process of

Existing light photography used the photo field of the original light photography, photographers do not need to additionally lighting, so, not because the Photo Flash and lighting emits light impact event.

For example, a table tennis match, you shoot the scene would not allow the use of Flash; you shooting stage, if you use Flash in their seats, spectators will be incurred. For most is not used to take pictures in the camera before, you should use the light, he photographed the emotional tension, not to the real expression. Use existing photo shoot, you will avoid these problems, you can quietly to capture, but also easy to hide yourself, when you finish recording tasks, it might also have to be taken to find!

(3) for convenient shooting

Use existing photo shooting, also can give you extra convenience.

You do not have to carry the lighting equipment, you can focus on to get the best scenario. If Flash or other light shooting, lighting, light cannot shoot far, only light irradiation valid range shooting, photographer's activities greatly restricted. Use existing photo shoot, we have greater freedom of activity. Especially in fluorescent lighting (daylight) shooting, in its various lighting range shooting point brightness differences are not large, convenient to the exposure.

(4) shooting low cost

Use existing photo shoot, you don't have to buy photographic lighting, inexpensive, all you need is a camera and film, can greatly reduce the economic investment.

There is an aperture and shutter speed can be adjusted by the photographer's camera, equipped with a lens of f/2.8, have been sufficient. As for the film speed, more appropriate ISO 400. It meets most of the existing light scene shooting needs, particles are not too thick, is an ideal choice. Unless necessary, generally do not have to use like ISO 1600 and ISO 3200 high sensitivity of this kind of film. If you do not have the appropriate rapid tablets, and the filming of light and dark too weak, or you can take to force the developer to work on the film as a remedy. Specific actions by the original film as a higher speed use, such as ISO 400 film when 800 or 1600 ISO, the corresponding extension developer time (1-class, exposure of less than normal developer time by 50%; exposure less-than-normal level 2, the developer time stretch 90%). Is lit and the reverse picture color can force developer, color reverse picture of developer only "first developer" time, other processes are not the same. Color negative film if you force the developer to be obvious that color offset, generally should not be used.
