Well, I'm on my blackberry and posting after my first location shoot in the Warren county NY, home of Lake George. I shot the lake from 2000 feet using a Super Speed Graphic, and if two of the twenty images made come out decent, I'll be happy. I was using a 1 degree spot meter and was atempting to use the zone system. The sun wasn't too bright so the EV values were never more than 5 stops apart. Or so I hope. I metered what I thoufht was the darkest areas and then put that area in zone 4. The only worry - had was that - was double checking my settings using my Nikon DSLR and the meter reading seem to be different than my spot meter... For instance if the spot meter said F22 at 30th. The nikons meter said F22 at like 200! I tended to go with the spot meter. I hope all goes well. I hope to get one more day of LF in. Any suggestions?
