- The rule of thumb says that, in order to get a very snowy picture to
look white, you add +2 to whatever the (say, CW) meter says.
Will the +2 correction work with a white flower on a macro (ie
mostly white) shot?
- How many stops between 18% gray and pure white? Is it 2, as per the
rule of thumb?
- Assume a backlit (setting sun, still white light) white flower. How
do you meter that sod? The palm method does not work, I don't think,
because the white flower-petals are translucent but the palm isn't.
If you get the palm to face the source of light, one's metering
device/own body shadows it. Or can you take an accurate enough
reading even if spot metering the palm from an angle?
Thanks,
