understanding exposure

[bejay]

Ladies and Gentlemen, after reading the book Understanding exposure, by Mr Peterson, how many of you use the "sky brothers", "Mr green jeans" et c. for getting the correct exposure,

I just wanted to shout out for Mid glamorgan! :)

HI there Matty, where in Mid Glam are you, I live just outside Porthcawl,

I posted this thread, and then found a similar thread about 10 threads below mine, so no one will respond to mine I don't think, but I can get the answers I was looking for from the other thread

Well I studied in Trefforest so not far from you at all but I'm over there regularly! As for the question I take it with a pinch of salt depending what I am trying to achieve.

I don't use them 100% of the time - but if I'm unsure and want a reliable "fallback", I find they'll consistently at least get me pretty close to where I want to be, exposure-wise.

I use this as a starting point almost all the time:
Need an exposure crutch? (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=89123)

Why? Post #47 (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=5191658&postcount=47)

Frank - just curious....have you kept track of how many times you've posted the link to "Need an exposure crutch?" Has it exceeded the number needed to qualify as a sticky - because that's where it belongs. :)

I'm beginning to think that Frank is starting a religion. I expect to see people in airports trying to win converts to the new religion. Maybe all wearing 18% gray robes with +1EV hoods, so they can prove that your palm is +1EV. Or going door to door handing out leaflets called SwatchTower with 18% gray and +1EV examples embedded in the logo. ;)
