Ted, Doug, et.al.:  Question from new RF user(s):

How do you meter with an M6 when shooting from the shadow side, so as to
capture detail in the shadowed area, without overexposing the light
area?  As I think about it, the question obviously begs other questions,
but for the moment, I'd like to keep it simple.  And, if this is a
REALLY bone-headededly simple question, I'll just put on my dunce hat
and sit in the corner.  :-)


Thanks,

Ken Frazier
