Polypropylene resin for the manufacture of films to be used as the dielectric base for film wound capacitors used in lighting ballasts, batteries, motor starters must have an ash content below 15 parts per million. If the ash content is above this, adherence of vapor deposited metals such as aluminum, silver, and zinc will be poor and the metallized film will fail what is called 'the tape test' as well as having a low DF value which will render the capacitor useless.

I refer you to the Polypropylene resin post above/below. That's the method I use.

Spot-meter on somplace other than the open window, so your exposure will be set for the room interior -- the window may blow out completely.

You can also take bracketed exposures on a tripod and merge them with a technique called HDR (High Dynamic Range -- search the forums for numerous threads) editing to keep both highlight and shadow detail.

Curves will provide a remedy similar to the Levels example previously posted, but with more control.

Think of a room you like to photograph. Find one or create it.
Photograph the room when the light is conducive to your vision of it.
Expose according to you vision (pre-visualisation) of it.

When you have the room framed satisfactorily in the viewfinder, wait.
When you have that and confidence in your camera settings, wait.
When your knees get numb and your mind goes blank, wait.

When, after some time, you feel you have gotten to know the room a little, make adjustments taking into account what you have learnt and wait.
When you've forgotten whatever it was you wanted in the first place, you, the camera, the room and the rooms surrounding the room will become one for a fleeting moment.

Press the shutter button.

The camera sensor (or film) is only capable of distinguishing between a certain number of shades -- this is its Dynamic Range. If your subject's range of tones covers more shades than that, it is physically impossible to capture them all with a single exposure -- one or both ends of the tone scale will be clipped.

With true HDR editing, you properly expose separately for highlight, midtone, and shadow areas, and them combine the best parts of each capture.
