When I was in college, my photo professor, who was an absolute tyrant, did teach us about light meters; he made everyone buy a Weston Euromaster and a Kodak Gray Card. We had to carry that bloomin' gray card with us everywhere we went, and he always made us meter off the card. I remember he said, "whatever it is that you measure with that meter will be middle gray in your picture." Most everything else he tried to hammer into our heads I tried desperately to forget, but what a light meter does wasn't one of them. I always remembered that whatever you meter in the scene will be middle gray in your picture. Kit - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
