I can not count the number of times I have tried to photograph a studio, and failed. I really like taking photographs so it has been enormously frustrating to not be able to take a photo of where I work.

Today though - I did! The reasons studios are so difficult to shoot is because the lighting is (for the most part) very low and varied. So when I try to get a shot of a host, engineer, director or, God forbid, the entire studio, the flash takes control and the studio looks really dark.

By using the highest ISO, though, the lens takes in more light, and the shot looks grainy, but acceptable, like this.
