Talk about post trip blues........developed about 20 sheets of TMax last night, after 3 days in the snowy mountains of northern Japan, and several negatives are clearly underexposed - i.e. the snow will be grey when printed. Now, I metered the snow carefully with a Pentax spotmeter, and placed its value on zone 7.5 or thereabouts, and also compensated 2 stops for the orange filter I was using to r educe the blueness of the light - what has happened, therefore, to give the expo sure error? If the light is very bright, will this throw a meter reading off? Wh at is the normal difference in stops between snow in full sunlight, and snow in shade?
