No, I pointed the camera at the floor to meter. In tricky lighting situations, I try to find something that's about neutral gray - usually the floor or grass. The great thing about the M7 is that you don't have to fiddle with the aperture or shutter speed. Just leave the aperture where you want it, point the camera at neutral gray, depress the shutter half-way to lock the exposure and re-frame the shot. It's all much faster than it sounds and every frame that I took with the M7 is perfectly exposed. I saved lots of film and got lots more usable shots.

Thanks, Frank. They were a really nice family to stay with. The mountain village reminded me of the South when I was growing up. Lots of children roaming from house to house, playing marbles in the yard, chasing fireflies. All of the adults sat on the porch after supper and talked while watching the children. There's something to be said for living without electricity!
