 NOT like "the spirit of darkness," but merely like an underexposure.  
     Thus my question: for those who've had successful experience in this 
     kind of photography, how do you estimate the amount of underexposure 
     to allow, in order to capture the "spirit of darkness?" --Art Peterson

Art,

I take an index reading from my own hand with the MR meter set at the red
zone in a maximum light area of the scene. Then I interpolate.
