I was just out shooting TOPE stuff, and shot a whole lot of shots of
basically large white mountains against large white skies. ( (West)Castle
Mountain, southern Alberta -- pretty much your classic steeps and deeps
hill, lots of fun, _lots_ of snow, though my legs hurt a lot today).
I tried to work out which way to compensate for the fact that the camera
thinks the whole world is 18 0rey, and after flipping back and forth in my
mind, I wound up setting everything to +1. I'm not sure if this was right or
not, so before I put this in for processing, could someone confirm if this
was correct, or if I'm going to have to hope for sufficient film latitude?
(reasoning there was:
camera wants to make everything 18 0rey
world is actually white
so the camera's going to try and expose the white into a 18 0rey scene
so the camera's going to try and make the white too dark
so I want to give more light to the film
so I set the exp.comp dial to +, to force longer exposures.
At the end of the day, I had a horrible feeling that somewhere along the
line I'd got things backwards..)
thanks,
