Thanks William. Will the grey card take into account the translucence? I
don't have one, so I cannot check :-) If I don't need to do that, could I
use my palm, then?
You may still need to make minor adjustments based on individual scenes, but
a gray card beside the subject should put you really close to the right
exposure.
The nice thing about a gray card is it obviates any colour shifts that the
meter might be prone to.
