Oooo .... a survey ;-)) Since we've been out shooting together, I think you know how I do things, but perhaps you've forgotten, or maybe what I do may be of interest to some others, so ...
Generally, fully manual using either a Pentax Spotmeter or my own eye and experience. I'll sweep the meter over an area getting values for highlights, shadows, or any unusual or important light (like spectral highlights), and base the exposure on those readings. Then I'll set the camera to the aperture I want to use, and start photographing. As the light changes, and if the need for exposure changes, I'll just move the shutter speed up or down. More often than not, I won't use a meter at all, just set the basic aperture I want to use and adjust the camera as appropriate while photographing. Sometimes I'll adjust aperture for a shot, other times shutter speed, depending on how much or little DOF I want. For the most part, most of the time my cameras don't even have batteries in them, with the exception of the LX or the ME Super, both of which I rarely use. I shoot film except when using my little Sony. I use the spot meter feature on that camera and for the most part use aperture priority. Shel > [Original Message] > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > 1.
