or simply "lighting"
SMcG (X) Jun 29, 2010:
As I said in my response to Tony, Now the context is clear, the answer is clear, it is the style (or type) of lighting they will use to shoot the photos, so something like "lighting used" is good.
Andreas THEODOROU (asker) Jun 29, 2010:

shooting lighting

We really need more context to see just how it is being used, as the sentence it appears in will undoubtedly have a large effect on the way it would be expresed most naturally in EN — it will probably need rephrasing, and the exact way 'lumière' is being used here is far from clear.

OK, thanks, Andy, now it is clear: the actual term you want is 'type de lumière de prise' = '(type of) lighting (to be) used for shooting / for the shot'

I expect they mean will it be incandescent lighting (= hot!) or flash (epileptics?) — or maybe even natural daylight (unlikely!)

'éclairage' might have been less confusing than 'lumière' here, but perhaps they were thinking of their lay readership!

Lighting the shot

Simply: Lighting the shot. For example in a photographic studio or on a film set.

The use of it then depends on your context. If you are taking photography in a studio 'photographic lighting' on a film set 'film lighting' etc.

On a film set, we use prise for 'take'. e.g. ' plan 43B, prise 2' (shot 43B, take 2)


Peer comment(s):

disagree Tony M : But here it's not the action of 'lighting the shot', but rather, 'the lighting used for (the action of) shooting' / Yes, now we have fuller context, that's exactly what I suggested in my added note at 09:45 GMT.

neutral Tony M : 'shooting light' is a strong possibility, but 'light shooting' couldn't work — the word order is crucial here in EN / Yes, my opinion is based on many years spent working in and around film and photography ... Martin C. has kindly explained my point

that's your opinion!
neutral Martin Cassell : "light shooting" would be something else entirely. don't be misled by your example: "low light shooting" is "shooting in low light", "low light" is a unit and cannot be separated.

This could possibly address the amount of light absorbed in the photo indicated by the ISP.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Tony M : I'm afraid not; the additional context provided makes it quite clear this is advising participants in advance of the kind of lighting to expect.
