Hello!
Interesting opportunity: I found an old church with glass windows that aren't stained glass, but colored glass, 1-1/2" thick and polished like gemstones. It is a very, very cool window and I'd like to take a photo of it with the 12x20, but I'm not sure if there are any special considerations since it is not a "stained glass" window. The light coming through it has a very different quality than that coming from the traditional leaded stained glass windows nearby. Since 12x20 film is rather costly, I'll make a few tests in 8x10 first, but I was wondering if anyone else here had run up against this sort of thing before and if there are any tips or advice you'd care to share. I assume I should use a reflected light meter since the light will be coming through the glass---fortunately I've got a seriously sensitive light meter. I'll be doing this in B+W which makes it even more of a challenge(kind of like getting a tomato to look good in monochrome.) Any ideas? Thoughts? Suggestions? SWAG guesses?
---Cheers!
