Really interesting video that I came across today! I assume that this spot metre, like most, still metres areas as if they were neutral grey - ie zone V. So, using the Police Car example- you read f5.6 off the side of the car. However, is that a result as if it was zone V? If it was, presumably you would have to dial in, say, two stops of extra exposure to get that "grey" door white - so expose your image at f11. Is that the process you went through or did you keep the f5.6 and adjust your 1/500 second to near 1/125th?

It looks like you are using a Minolta F spot meter. If so all you have to do is find a good shadow area and click the trigger. Click the memory button and then the shadow button. Second you find a good highlight area and click the trigger. Press the memory button and then the highlight button. Then click the average button and it should give you perfect exposure levels for your photograph. Try it and see if I'm right.

We all got to keep an open mind otherwise we miss out on good stuff (like a spot meter). The Zone system is the base of all photo exposure, film, digital, phone cam.

I srsly don't understand this. Keeping an image at 320dpi and enlarging size... It's artificially 320dpi. You can't adjust the size without the resolution adjusting. Right? Otherwise no one would have printing issues if you could just take. 72dpi 5x5 and say it's a 30x30 300 dpi. It doesn't work that way. I must be missing something.

its worth saying that of course the larger the print the distance you will be away from it - eg billboards may only be 10ppi - and you dont see them because the distance is many many metres away. - same goes for wall prints, you dont tend to stand inches away when looking, its a few metres away so you can get away with lower PPI.

I use exactly the same spot meter as you and I also have a Hasselblad. What I do is that I have two film backs on the go at the same time. They both have the same film in them. One I will develop normally, but I'll have a second back with a film that I'm going to under develop. I use this film back where I have a very high contrast range, like with your tree. So when developing that film I knock about a third off the developing time and in most cases that will rescue the blown out sky.

@Photillustrator5 ай бұрын
That really depends on the original size of your jpg. If you're trying to enlarge a smaller jpg file you will see breakdown in the image. RAW files do give you a lot more flexibility but not necessarily in size. Enlarging comes down to how many pixels make up that image. More pixels = BIGGER enlargements.

You forgot the resolution at 72dpi which means 70in (72dpi) is actually 5000px it is small for print. 5000px in 300dpi is roughly a Letter size! Use 300dpi for print indoor. Maybe from 300 to 150 dpi minimum for better quality! Thank you so much!

I would try doing what I did in the video. If it doesn't just fall out, shake it or make it vibrate, which may dislodge that piece. Do Not go digging in there for it or you may bend or break one of the pins and that would require a major costly fix.

When using a spot meter: Negative film, expose the shadows, develop for the highlights. Positive film ie slide film, expose for the highlights, develop for the shadows. Love using the spot meter and have used one for 40 years. Further, it's possible to get more range from your images by calibrating your meter to the brand and iso of the film you're using. Good video, thanks!
@Photillustrator6 ай бұрын
Ah... I didn't know that about negative film vs. positive film. Thanks for the tip.
Color film and slides is a bit different, especially slide film color you have to use a graduated filter or something if the sky is outside the dynamic range.

I know billboards are a different printing process than I use and I'm sure that means exporting for a billboard size image is likely different.

I believe the readings that your meter gives are all Zone 5/Middle Gray. So like with the tree picture, your meter gave the shadow reading of f/2.8 @ 1/250th, which is a Zone 5/Middle Gray reading, right? I thought you want to put your shadows into Zone 3, which would mean stopping down 2 stops to f/5.6 or 1/60th of a second, if you wanted the 2.8 aperture. Don’t you stop down 2 stops to put your shadows in Zone 3? 🤔
@Photillustrator8 ай бұрын
How I interpreted this was my 5.6 was my middle gray and zone 5 and my 2.8 was more my zone 3. I typically like to expose for the shadows in zone 2 or 3, which is why I set my camera at 2.8 at 1/250th. If I had gone with 2.8 as my zone 5 and stopped down 2 stops, that would have been exposing for a zone 1 or 2. So, my understanding is to find a middle gray in your scene, take a spot meter reading, and tweak your metering based on what's important for your exposure. In the case of the tree, I interpreted my middle gray to be the ground area in front of the tree at 5.6. The shadow areas are where all the cool details are so I exposed at 2.8 to hold the details in the shadows and get that depth of field. Hope this helps understand what I was thinking and thanks for the comment.
