A couple things to remember: 1. Grey cards aren't always neutral. The Kodak ones in particular are somewhat warm.
2. Your meter is calibrated for approximately 12.5% grey (ISO standard). Cards are calibrated to 18% grey (Kodak's choice at Ansel Adams suggestion). Thus grey cards do not actually function as described but rather cause a slight overexposure . -Adam On Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 11:35 AM, eckinator <[email protected]> wrote: > I prefer a grey card.
