An outtake from the 2005 Christmas project
I find the the flamingo needs the blue lights to be complete. I tried it without, and I much prefer them in the frame.
Review of my already purchased Sekonic light meter contains this confirming statement that I am not losing my grip. "Because I put more film through my Nikons than any other camera, I use its metering as my personal standard. Over the years I have found that all my handheld meters were 1/2 to 2/3 stop under the Nikon reading. But Sekonic, Gossen, et al. make no apologies for this, saying that there is no international standard for a neutral gray. Sekonic says they match Nikon's standards but I found about a 1/2 stop difference. Further shooting and tests will tell me more. "
The spot meter reads about 2/3 under the Nikon. Now that I know this... The fix is to set a compensation factor in one device or the other, and to stop going out into the cold and trying another experiment. Funny, as usual, I thought it was me...
