JHAG Posted December 17, 2007 Share #1 Posted December 17, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have to shoot a collection of african art with some lighting (2 softboxes). My meter is down. Is it risky to shoot without it ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 Hi JHAG, Take a look here Shooting without a lightmeter. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
mhoersch Posted December 17, 2007 Share #2 Posted December 17, 2007 If you don't know your stuff - yes, very. If you do - not at all. Seriously, I'm not quite sure what kind of answer you expect?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHAG Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted December 17, 2007 @Manfred : "stuff" I know my gear very well. I don't know the stuff I'm photographing very well (I have pretty clear ideas on how photographing that kind of art, but it's a first for me) Well, to be on the safe side, I'll rent a flashmeter replacement… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjr Posted December 17, 2007 Share #5 Posted December 17, 2007 Indeed what kind of answer ! Buy a lightmeter perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frc Posted December 17, 2007 Share #6 Posted December 17, 2007 For personal stuff I hardly ever use, need or rely on the light meter but for still life and product photography I'd use it. The onboard or otherwise an external one. It takes an amateur to make mistakes. But one needs a pro to really create a total mess;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
