can you please walk me through the process of using both a light meter and an expo disk to get the correct exposure and wb for a shot? (which do I set first, do I take the expo disk off the lens before taking a picture of my subject, etc...)
I have the sekonic light meter model 300something-how do I get my WB to be correct using a light meter instead of an expo disk? Or do I need to use both the light meter and an expo disk?
99.9999999% of light meters are only capable of reading the amount of light.... so they are only used for setting exposure. There are color temperature meters available, but they're very pricey! 4-digit price tags to start with.
If you want to be accurate, use a light meter and an Exposdisc. Gray cards can be thrown into the mix if you want, especially given they're relatively inexpensive.
