Bracket like hell, use the widest aperture you can, and the shortest exposure time you can, unless you have a tripod! Then pray! It's sad but true, the human eye is so good at compensating for various lighting conditions that even a seemingly bright room might render underexposed negatives, and I have also been surprised at getting a printable negative where I just knew it was too dark! Once you get into the really deep shade, exposure is, at best, "iffy" ! :o) Best of light ( or dim, as the case may be!)
