Good afternoon everyone,
I'm posting this in the film thread, because I shoot film (B&W). I know it's applicable to digital photography, but I've found film photographers tend to have slightly different ideas of methodology. I would welcome insight from anyone, though.
I've been feeling overwhelmed with all the different metering concepts. Not so much the matrix/center/spot concept, but the following:
1. Reflective metering.
2. Incident metering.
3. Using a grey-card.
4. Using the zone system via spot metering.
How the heck do you choose with "method" to use?
In my experience, they all come out slightly different. Close, but usually different within a stop or two.
If someone could compartmentalize this a bit for a novice sake, that'd be awesome.
Thank you!
