OK, so I live in the UK, the light here is generally 'crap' - this isn't normally a problem for me since I shoot a lot of 6x7 but usually on 800ASA film.
I'm setting out to shoot a large number of on location environmental portraits, both indoors and out and wondered what stratagems people here had developed for minimising film wastage? Fortunately my subjects will largely be adult so they may be able to stay still for a second or so (fingers crossed!). Should I be looking to pop my subjects in place with flash and expose for the environment?
I'll be shooting 8x10 on 160S and ektachrome 64T (depending on lighting), ideally I'd be avoiding the use of obvious artificial light but I'm not totally averse to using some where necessary. I'm shooting with a 300/5.6 Schneider MC.
Good light is a crutch - so I'm told!
