Someone with longtime experience with 8x10 Kodak PORTRA 160NC, HELP!!!
I recently bought 3 boxes of 8x10 PORTRA 160NC. In Europe this film is extremely expensive!!!
PLEASE, guidance of how to expose these sheets is needed!
This is a wide question, of course! Many factors involved.
A method, a consistent approach!
Let's consider this: 300mm lens, outdoor scenes, only natural light.
Subject 20 feet away from the lens / landscape focus.
How should I use the light meter (160ASA, 100ASA, 80ASA?)
Reflected light measurement or Incident light measurement?
Read the darkest area first, where I wish to have detail? How?
Taking into account the lighting conditions (bright sun-distinct shadows / soft evening sun-soft shadows) should I change my approach??
Thanks
Henrique
