Hi Alan,
Can you explain in more detail?
If I take a picture of a Kodak grey card in bright sunshine (say) and then
compare the slide
how do I know that I am not being fooled by the 'characteristics' of the
film rather then exposure?
I am sorry if this is obvious to you but it is not to me.
I used to work on optical analytical equipment and perhaps I am thinking in
to exact terms.
With my cameras I just get to know the 'personality' of each
and beat it around the head a bit until it does what I want ;-)
I would like to be able to explain the procedure of 'calibrating' to my wife
who is just getting into macro photography (MZ7 and either velvia or Kodak
100 extra colour).
Do you know of any links to articles about this?
Thanks
Alan (almost like the Monty Python sketch "g'day Bruce, Hello
Bruce.....!)
