Best Answer

If you are familiar enough with the word, you must also know that a lumen is a quantitative measure of light contained in a defined beam or emitted from a source, and depends upon the spectrum of the light.

Since virtually every photographic image ever made or that will be made in the genre you refer to ("indoor Photography)

a) depends on reflected light

b) the spectrum will vary from daylight, tungsten and fluorescent to name a few

c) the reflective surfaces absorb and colorize the light

d) the amount transmitted to the film or ccd depends on aperture and shutter speed

e) the amount of light required depends on the film speed rating

your question is purely academic. Even if you wish to use an incident light meter that indicates the lumens falling onto the scene, you will no doubt concentrate on the aperture and shutter speeds indicated as a function of the film speed and not care a whit about how many lumens are present.

What is the definition of social photography?

Social photography is about the personal side of photography. Examples of this type of photography would include family portraiture, wedding photography and events photography to name just a few. This is often confused with social documentary photography, which is a branch of photography that focuses on capturing the natural condition of the society. Street photography can be a good example of doing this type of photography.


What camera accessories are needed for wildlife photography?

The shortest zoom that would be really useful for wildlife photography is a 300 mm, but a good lens to start off with is a 75 to 300 mm zoom, or a 100 to 300 mm zoom. Probably, the best lens to go with would be a 400 mm f5.6 lens for wildlife photography, because more than likely, a 300 will be too short. You should also buy a good, sturdy tripod. Make sure it's not too heavy for you to carry around.
