Thanks for the compliment David The Leica R7 displays directly the light evaluation in +/- EV, on the right of the view finder. I know that the Provia 100 accepts +1 ev to -1 ev. Then I move the camera around to measure the scene. Then an average value is chosen, clipping the lighted or shadows. Here, given the the exposure time, I have decided for a 2.8 F stop otherwise, it would be too slow. Then the big wait for no one to be in front. The Alhambra is very visited.... Then, click :) The result is according to my taste, I'm glad it enlighten your day too.. Cheers. --------------------------------- Xavier F.
