wda Posted January 4, 2012 Share #21  Posted January 4, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) .... No meter absolves us from thinking. This knowledge helps us to think. The old man from the Selenium Age I agree with you absolutely! I started with a Weston II meter, graduating progressively through versions IV, V and Euro Master.  More recently I used a Gossen VarioSix F which added flash metering. Digital makes one lazy unless you stop to think. The rediscovery of hand-held meters and digital, which provides instant feedback, can make a remarkable difference, given the time to build in the extra evaluation step. I put it in parallel with setting WB using a quality reference grey card. The two together really help a photographer get the best possible interpretation.

willwright Posted January 4, 2012 Share #22 Â Posted January 4, 2012 I enjoyed your lucid explanation of incident light reading. It inspired me to dig out my Norwood Director from 1952 (!) amazingly enough in perfect working condition. within a half stop of my battery operated Gossen. I worked in the film business and I can't remember a single instance where a cinematographer every used reflected light reading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
