Toss your meters, fools!

Dateline, 7-6-06 Meters are useless any photographer that shoots more than one roll of film a month (natural light, not flash), or thirty digital "images" and still requires a meter to gauge exposure values is not only a hack, but lazy. i am sick of seeing article upon article...book upon book, based on the simplest of rules. for all of the modern conventions attributed to photography, and all of the gadgets that can make images easier than ever, there is still no match for knowing one's equipment, being adept at seeing full frame (whatever that frame size is), knowing the light quality and being able to transcend that vision to medium. forget zones, compensation ev's, et al, just look at a perceived image, and MAKE it. sunny 16 has worked since the dawn of photography. no new-fangled means of trapping light have ever fooled it. in fact, it can't be fooled. it is almost as constant as the light we surreptitiously chase! it has never failed me, and i won't begin to tell you how many images have been wasted by frittering with meters! g'night, dm Joe Mama is obviously a troll. You guys fell for it. |
