PHAN Wright 302.141 Figure 6-21.–Exterior architectural photograph shot with 45-degree lighting. Details   of   interiors,   mainly   close-ups   of adornments,  technical  features,  interior  decorations,  and so forth. Photographs   of   public   interiors   are   often characterized by size, dominance, scale, and measure- ments. You must be careful of fluorescent lights when shooting color film. They can produce color casts. If the fluorescent tubes are all of the same type, the color cast can be corrected with filters. Fluorescent lighting is, however,   often   excellent   for   black-and-white photography.   In   interior   photography   of   public buildings, an attempt may be made to shoot from a somewhat higher camera angle than eye level to provide an overview of the scene. It is important not to have the first detail in the subject too far from the lower edge of the picture. The interior should glide into the image frame in a natural way. Maximum depth of field is the only  acceptable  technique  here. Another important problem in public and residential interiors is the balance between natural outdoor light and indoor  artificial  light.  When  lighting  is  mixed  this  way, it is better to delay shooting until the daylight is too weak to overwhelm the interior lighting. Using the light of the midday sun is definitely wrong. It is also wrong to photograph interiors so late in the day that the sky seen through windows is completely black So a time near sunset or, if you wish to avoid visitors, the early morning hours   is   recommended,   especially   for   color photography. Measurement of the ambient interior illumination and the outdoor light gives you a good idea of the best time to take pictures. Lenses with built-in leaf shutters are major assets in interior photography when some daylight is present, because they synchronize with electronic flash at all speeds. The choice of a suitable shutter  speed  allows  you  to  obtain  balance  between daylight  and  flash  illumination. INDUSTRIAL PHOTOGRAPHY Photography is regarded as indispensable to Navy industry. You say you did not know the Navy was or had industry? Well, stop and think for a minute. How about the naval aviation depots, the public works centers, and the shipyards? The demands for good photography for research,   development,   documentation,   and communication placed on us by these industrial types of 6-37
