Hi all, I do not see a thread like this one, so I thought I would start one.

I am no pro when it comes to shooting indoors. I have read through quite a few posts that talk about shooting indoors with no flash, and I am curious how these look.
I am under the impression that the colors would be rather drab if light is not sufficient. I am not referring to underexposure, but rather just an exposure that looks drab. Also, can anyone link me to some info about these gels that you put on your flash. I assume this can balance out the color so that while the foreground looks``proper`` the background won`t look yellow-orange ( assuming incadescent lighting )

It might be good idea to post the lens you used as well.
Thanks ( I hope this was a good idea :confused: )

It was Av mode shot in RAW. I did have to fix the white balance.

You can always convert to B&W if you don't like the colors :-)

Both pictures taken with my old Pentax Me camera, Pentax 50mm f1.7 lens and cheap Kodak ProFoto 400 BW film.
