Would you please say how you arrive at the exposure for such a subject on slide film? Mostly shadow side of a white horse in motion. Incident reading of the location, gray card in sun or shadow, fudge or compensation factors, etc? Thanks again. Your pictures sing with a combination of "simplicity" and eloquence. They are so very pleasing.
