BTW, I loved your site too. > what percentage of shots are tripod mounted--especially the 75 Smilax (in > the "Mulhouse" shots for instance)? I'm ashame. None are tripod mounted. Actually, I take pictures after my work day (I'm training people or give lectures about computers). So at 6 or 7 PM, I'm free and I have a walk in the city. As I have my equipment with me during the whole day, I can't carry a tripod. Sometimes, I bring a monopod. I managed to find a very cute Linhof monopod after I read Keppler's (spelling?) paper some months ago in Pop photo. But I don't remember having used it for the pictures on my site. > are you metering through the M6--or using a separate meter? It depends. When light is easy, I use the built-in lightmeter. When I doubt, I use a Minolta Autometer IV (the days I'm not too lazzy :-) in incident mode. Actually, the incident meter is usefull when I want a regular exposure. When I want to give some effect, I take a base reading with the built-in meter and correct it to suit my idea.
