That night I just took 2 photos and they both came out pretty fine for me. On the total roll of 36, I kept about 1/3. For the first time since working with my M4-2, that gave me a good feeling: what I had in mind when shooting, cme out on the negs. What seems to work best for me is spotmetering the reflecting light: I still have to work on incident metering, and spotmetering is getting really a habit. A quick glance and most of the time I'm pretty well on.
