How can i take indoor pictures with my 35mm camera?


ok, so here's the thing, i have a 20 some year old camera, it's a nikon FG-20 ( a standard 35mm slr). attached i have a vivitar 35mm-105mm lens. i use kodak gold speed 200 film. I want to take indoor pictures under somewhat low-light situations, but when i 1/2 click the shutter button, inside the viewfinder there's a needle that points to the shutter speed. and it says like 1/1, 1/20, no matter how much i adjust the aperature, can anyone help me? help will be appreciated. thank you.

It is all a matter of the quantity of light.

In low light, you need to keep the shutter open longer so enough light can expose the film.

That is why we use 3200 ISO film in certain conditions.

Your aperture is the other limiting factor ... the larger the aperture, the more light can enter during the exposure, so when you are shooting at f/1.4 at 1/30th, the same amount of light will strike the file if you were shooting at f/22 for 4 seconds.

You may want to take a class in photography to avoid all these frustrations ... you will find more as you continue shooting .. and digital cameras use the same rules as do the 35mm SLR's only you can change the ISO and white balance without having to remove the film to exchange it for a different type. No matter which camera you use, all the rules apply

You'll need to get yourself a tripod, push the film speed (ASA) to 400 or 800 and you can even use the exposure compensation. The best is to find a flash from Nikon or a Vivitar 283 should work.

sorry i want to know the same answer :(
