[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 398239, member: 16749"] EV13 at ISO 100 is obviously meant for outdoor use, or indoors with a lot of light coming in a window. Somewhat like [USER=15434]@wornish[/USER], I felt motivated to try to defy this by taking a picture using only artificial indoor illumination. Not so easy, as this turns out to be just enough exposure to get a somewhat dim direct shot of just about any luminaire in my home, and not enough at all to get a very good shot of anything illuminated thereby. I've got this lamp that has a large, rice-paper shade, good for silhouetting something against. One of my wife's sheer lace bras, hanging from this lamp. The dark appearance against the lamp notwithstanding, this bra is actually white. I tried earlier a black lace bra, that actually produced a less satisfactory result at this low exposure level. This is somewhat similar to [URL="http://nikonites.com/monthly-assignments/22461-may-assignment-b-w-night-photography.html#post304819"]one of the images[/URL] that I submitted for last May's monthly challenge. The “black and white” appearance notwithstanding, this is actually a full-color image. There just wasn't a lot of varied color in the original scene. ƒ/8 at 1/125′, ISO 100.
