So, I'm photographing a painting and, apparently, I figured my exposure, via multiple strobe pops, incorrectly. The method I used was that after the initial pop (f8 through polarizing gels and compensating for the polarizing filter on the lens) I hit the strobes two more times for each additional f-stop i.e. two more hits would give me f11, two more f16, etc. until I got to f32. I even "overexposed" by additional pops but my chromes were under by at least a stop. Any advice on accurately figuring stuff like this? Now I have the experience of seeing the chrome and going from there but I know there must be a better way.
