I can see it!!!! ;-) You are correct thou, very tricky metering conditions.
A grad filter or even a spot of the rocks and one for the sky to decrease
the exposure difference. Depending on what I am trying to achieve, I may
even go 2 spots on the rock and 1 off the sky to give preference to the
rocks... thats why I love my OM-4 just for these sort of conditions!
Cheers Adam
