Bag and gear - I carry some on occasions. And, and I also have the lion tamer's hat with big neon letters ;-) . But you have the talent and the technique. So my technical question is about how you measure light when you have so much contrast, so as to preserve details as you do. My shot - thanks for the compliment -suffered from this, and from bad grainy film among other things. Do you measure the shadow parts? the brightest? Do you trust the camera (OT and M alike) for it? Sorry to insist, but you might save me a few miles if I knew the answers. Thanks in anticipation for your help.
