Dear /p/
There is an opportunity for a most excellent photo here at my school. One time during class I went to the bathroom, due to construction I had to go to a part of the building I had never been before, taking a wrong turn, for this is a most unlogically built place, I came across a windowed door in front of another windowed door, in front of a room. In this room to my amazement I caught site of medical students open the chest of a human cadaver. This is a most excellent opurtunity, however the lighting is just 100% shit destroying any chance of a depth of field, furthering the problem I just can't snap it fast and crop later. In a test run the lighting was so terrible it metered at 1/15 preventing me from doing a quick casual snap that would easy to do unnoticed.
advice /p/?

Are you using the kit lens? If so, considering buying the Canon 50mm f/1.8 II. The speed will help you in your mission.

What ISO was that 1/15th at?

1/15th can be handheld if you're careful and don't expect huge prints from it.

He wanted DoF. F/1.8 isn't part of that mix.

Ahh ok, so he wants the doors in focus as well.

How about a tripod?

I'm pretty sure I'd get in trouble if I caught snapping this. Taking photos of a people cutting open of human body behind a 2 locked doors with alarms on them?

he hasnt said what ISO the 1/15 was at. it could have been ISO 100 for all you know.

also, he doesnt say he wants the door in focus, just he wanted some DoF. maybe enough to see the students around the body in focus, or possibly everything from the door to the back of the room.

So long as they really are medical students and they're supposed to be slicing the cadaver, I don't see why. The two doors and the alarms probably have to do with it probably being a normal surgical room than anything going on when there isn's a live body on the table.

Colleges and hospitals hire whole staffs of photographers to shoot stuff like this, even live operations. One guy I know got his start in professional photography working first for some hospital in Chicago and then for the medical school of East Carolina University.

Christ, man, bump that shit up. A 30D is basically noise-free at ISO400, and perfectly usable at 800 and 1600. The grittiness of an ISO1600 shot might even make it more awesome, and your 1/15th at ISO200 is 1/125th at ISO1600.

NatGeo seems to manage tons of animal pics at smaller sizes than that.

And that 959x699 thing looks absolutely adorable from here.
