Dutch Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share #21 Posted August 20, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks for the link. Whatever M I get, it must be a smooth one. At least then I can be sure that any bad exposure will be my own fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Hi Dutch, Take a look here M2 and Sunny 16. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
tobey bilek Posted August 20, 2011 Share #22 Posted August 20, 2011 Sunny 16 works perfectly in sun, overcast has too much variation, shade is pretty consistent. It works better than the meters built into my pro Nikon digitals for full sun. Depending on where and how you shoot, a meter may be a good investment. The M6 meter is a never miss once you learn where to aim it for a reading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share #23 Posted August 21, 2011 I have been thinking about Sunny 16 and situation where light varies. On my 7D I generally use evaluative metering and often can't be bothered to change the setting if I want to expose for a specific spot, so I simply estimate the amount of compensation that is needed. When using Sunny 16, isn't it similar for tricky situations? Estimate in which light condition the main subject is situated and choose to either expose for the entire scene, or compensate specifically for the main subject. It doesn't seem like there are endless possibilities, especially considering that your working in full stops (if I understand that correctly).
