Light meters

Light metering

Reflective:

Measures reflected light from the subject from a light source.

Lumi-grid: used for reflective metering. near the camera.

IS inbuilt light meter in camera.



Incidental:

Takes a reading of light intensity.

Lumi-Sphere - used to measure light overall near the subject

Lumi-disk - Used for measuring strengths of individual lights.


Spot:

reflective metering principals but the angle of view is very narrow.


Lightmeter uses measurements of Foot Candles.


Light meter test:

For the WS I exposed from what the Incidental Lightmeter was saying exactly for the scene:

This was good overall but was not good for exposing the face.



For the MCU I over exposed by one stop so the skin tones were sitting in Zone VI. this worked really well.
