Our Presbyterian church is undergoing an inside renovation. I am to take before and after photos of the chancel. The church is quite large, high ceilinged, stained glass windows(with light coming from the rear of the church) hanging lights over the seating area, and additional lights in the chancel. Flash isn't in the cards. This is not my bread and butter-I have never done this stuff, and don't like doing it...
Questions...I have a 4X5 ebony and 150MM and 90 MM lenses, but am uncertain as to film type(B&W only), filters, exposure etc. Typically I spot read the deepest shadow with detail, and then develop according to the hightlight. Is the highlight the lit bulb? Should I use filter? Would an incident light meter work better than a spot indoors? Is FP4 or TMax better for this- what I imagine will be an expansion development, but not certain.
I know-lots of variables but any help is appreciated.
