@jcdeboever I'm at the opposite end. I started with film in the late 60s, and have tried to get back into film for the past year. Unfortunately every time I think I'm ready I discover something new in digital.

Me too, I don't like it....

Like it not it is the future. Reading the specs on the new K1 II. With a useable ISO approaching one million, 5 axis shake reduction that reads hand shake and adjust on a pixel level up to five stops, and the list goes on. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't one day have the ability to easily capture and display full holographic images that take lifelike to a new level.

Does anyone remember the Weston Ranger 9 spit meter with a Zone System dial upgrade? I used one with my Nikon F in the old days and remember it provided great information. Of course, it took more than a second to set up a shot. When I get back to Long Island I’m going to see if they both work.

Peterson suggests metering off your hand, then bump up 1 stop. (N.B.: Haven't tried it, myself.)

That's what Gary is saying, meter off a known quantity then adjust accordingly. Most hand palms are a stop to a stop ana half lighter than medium gray.

Never heard of a spit meter but it sounds good

In the old film days, Gary started out with a non-metered rangefinder and learned to set the camera by eye. With Fuji's EVF, he's back to adjusting the camera by eye.

That should have been “spot.” Can we blame it on spellcheck?

 

[Gary A.]

I thought a Western Ranger was a lawman. Like Marshall Dillon in Gunsmoke.

Sounds good, been the downfall of us all

Red Wings are poop

I feel free when I am on my way without camera and phone.

Just breathe, walk, run.

Yet ...

... if I do I can not record strikes of genious that sometimes hit me

... I just let all the little birds of inspiration fly freely in the hope they will some day return ...

Morning kids. Sister and I have come to the community center to hit the food truck when it gets here.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Morning chores are finished. The dog has walked away from her banana and yogurt breakfast. Gary is sipping some tea and eating some cut up oranges. Mary Lou has been peeling, cutting and then storing oranges in tupperware so they are always available and easily consumed. This morning Gary filled a tall stemmed water glass with oranges and has been picking at them while answering emails and such. An elegant way to eat oranges. The dog is getting antsy for her morning constitutional. It is 50F out, but the sun is shining.

the sun is shining

But the ice is slippery.
