[renatokg]

Hello !

I will travel to a cave this next weekend and I would like to know more about shooting in dark places. It actually have some lights inside, but it´s a cave...
Do you guys have some tips for me?
I don´t use any kind of extra lens set...

thanks!

If your goal is beauty shots, you might rent/buy/borrow one of those zillion-candle power spotlights that charge off your car's cigarette lighter (accessory outlet). Barring that, rent a more light-sensitive camera. Either way, don't expect it to resemble the Discovery channel's footage.

If you go with option 1, you might be able to shoot on spotlight mode and keep the camera from gaining up. Still, it will be a neat trick to handle camera and the big spotlight at the same time. Best of luck to you.
