[pure-silver] Re: Need help with exposures-Dana--Peter-Paul& Mary

Unless I'm missing something - and I'm sure I'll be corrected if I have - Weston meters, at least the ones in my collection are all reflection meters. Thusly Ansel could not have "used incident "metering"" 

Just a thought.


From "Ansel Adams: Some Thoughts About Ansel And About Moonrise",
by Mary Street Alinder (Copyright 1999 Alinder Gallery):
All was in place, but he could not find his Weston light meter. He remembered that the moon reflects 250 foot candles and he based his exposure upon that fact. He quickly computed a setting of 1/60 at f/8, but with the addition of the filter 
  it became 1/20 at f/8.

Ansel exposed "Moonrise" using incident "metering" (without a meter).
Incident metering is a useful tool and doesn't require one to "not
believe" in the utility and application of spot-metering.
