Re: on paper (was: Re: Our Book and other book pictures)

Re: light meters

I just spot meter off the back of my hand & dial it down -1 stop which gets me pretty close to 18% grey. As for a meter recommendation the L-308 meters are relatively cheap, easy to use. Cheers, Dave However, depending on how much time I've spent in the sun affects the calibration somewhat :-)

PDML Annual reaches W.A. (finally :-))

G'day All, Firstly, let me start off by saying I hate the lot of you. :-) Secondly, what a fabulous collection of work. The "shock & awe" effect of seeing all those photographs in one place is staggering. I knew you folks were good, but seeing the groups talent pooled together in one publication
