Looks like I have a lot of practice and evaluation to do once the
weather cools down some and I can spend a few hours outdoors. For now, we
have already broken the record for the number of days at 110º or higher, and
we may tack on another one tomorrow. Not a good time to be outdoors for any
length of time.
So, it's back to basics time once again. I will satisfy my need to
improve my techniques by first reading chapter 3 ("Exposure") of Adams
volume 2 ("The Negative").
