I bet the school also has a flash meter. I think you should take the opportunity to use it as well. It will give you both another source to compare film's exposure based on the other camera and give you a quantitative value and feel for the contrast ratios between, say, the key and fill flash.
Very true tuco. I have said on this very forum that "metering" with a DSLR is not a great idea, due to whatever small discrepancies there might be. And the proof is in the pudding - the Provia shot was underexposed by about 2/3 of a stop. Nothing serious but still. And I did calculate bellows factors, that wasn't the cause.
Austin, I LOVE the violin shot. The texture and reflections are gorgeous!
My D600 gives a much different exposures than my other digital cameras in a flash setup like you are doing. And the exposure it selects when I have a my old 20/2.8D lens on vs my Zeiss 21mm on is really significantly different for the same light/scene. So getting a feel using the flash meter as well you can then hopefully apply a constant fudge factor when using just the digital to meter the scene.
Ari, Thanks. The items are part of the memorial. They are made of bronze and affixed to the ground. There are a number of other things (suitcase, glasses, a doll) scattered along a cobblestone path which leads up to large black stone wall inscribed with a detailed history of the holocaust. Buried below the wall is soil and ash from the concentration camps. It is a an uncompromisingly dark and emotional memorial, as it should be. I don't know who left the roses; I was there by myself in the rain.
Somewhere in Death Valley....
I wish I was in Death Valley right now-it's 22º in Portland! Nice picture Scott.
Speaking of cold, here're some icicles:

I wish I was there too....More for solitude than weather. It's going to be 62 here today ;-)
