Thanks everybody, for a lot of information on how to handle contrasty subjects; was
just noticing that the Sunny 16 rule is what I would have got had I carried an
incident light meter along.
Just a thought: would using high speed film help? I understand they offer lowered
contrast.
Bob, the area in which I'm doing this shoot (and the panthers) are in a huge
reserve- sort of: the fencing is only 8'-0" or so high and I've SEEN these cats
casually leap over 10' in a single bound. The rangers are the smart guys; they won't
go near the place until it's near noon!
Thanks,
RK
