I have run some film and paper tests via the methods suggested in BTZS and have my graphs but I still have a question.
Lets say I spot meter the scene of trees, overcast sky and water with reflections; I get a range of 5 for SBR. This gets me to select a curve and thus an ASA. Now what?
Do I re-meter and pick an EV-shutter/f-number combination from the middle? Do double the film speed and use an incident reading from an “open” shadow area?
I know that I will just have to practice and look at the negatives in the long run but I would like some input on the proper theory. I have visited the BTZS site and find my that my pals here at photo.net much more understanding and understandable.
Many thanks,
