    How do you folks determine exposure for your portraits? Do you spot meter and zone system only on face? Do you just use average scene metering? Do tell!!!

    Meter your hand under the same light as your subject, provided they are the same color as you. The entire range of humanity will fit within a five-stop range, Indians and Mexicans are Middle Grey Zone V; Finns and Swedes are Zone VII; Kenyans are Zone III.

    Country Clubs are all Zone VI.
