Ted, I look for the light.  You would be amazed at how few shots I  take in 
a 
week.  Like a bow hunter, I am frugal with my arrows.  (Not  counting the 
flowers which are digi)

I shoot one roll of 24 frames each  week, most weeks.

Hi Sonny,
Love it! It's one of those scenes of low  light where one applies... "show 
no 
fear you can see it, so shoot it!" :-)  And without question to hell with 
the 
rules and regulations in the books  that say, " you shouldn't do it because 
the light balance etc wont be  correct!" Quite frankly bull shit on the 
books.  Because we shoot real  life and light capturing the mood and 
beautiful moments that otherwise would  be lost forever!! ;-)

Can't beat that Noctilux when in a show no fear  shoot situation! Sorts out 
the fearless photographer from the " oooohhhhh  dear me it's way to dark in 
here I'll use flash!" Then of course they blow  the exposure and completely 
destroy the motivation for shooting the picture  in the first place... "The 
beautiful light and people." Good on you  mate!
