Dear Duarte You shouldn't need to set your exposure meter so low.
If you use your meter at a normal setting and find out what exposures work best for the readings given, you won't need to use such extreme settings which can make things awkward depending on the meter you are using. After all with pinhole in practice all is relative and numbers just stand for things. Say you set your ASA at 100 and you get a reading of 18 EV or whatever the pointer indicates, you know this will require say, 5 mins. The readings are not absolute but relative. I hope this is of use Alexis on 3/1/02 8:42 pm, R Duarte at ra...@rahji.com wrote: > i usually have to put my light meters as low as they go. somewhere between > ASA 2 and 6? > > rob > >> From: "Christopher Wulff" <cwu...@sympatico.ca> >> Reply-To: pinhole-discussion@p at ??????? >> Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2002 14:46:03 -0500 >> To: <Pinhole-discussion@p at ???????> >> Subject: [pinhole-discussion] Working with paper for first time >> >> Hi there.
