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. Very well. But this has been made from the first automatic metering system in any aperture priority camera. Select the light you consider most representative, push half way to keep the measure, compose and shoot. Where is the great thing? Rather I think is too late and this had to have been done by Leica many, many years ago! By the way your picture plenty of human and artistic values!
