That's what I enjoy most about old abandonments - the way light comes in from broken walls, holes in roofs, etc. But you're right...its something you have to stay in practice with. And I find I shoot a lot more frames with available light than in the studio just so I have safeties in case of motion blur, bad exposure settings and such.
