How do you do your picture taking with no meter?

Some spectacular advice. One tip on incident metering I will add that has served me well in shooting B+W: take a few readings with your hand meter and then put it in your pocket. Memorize the variance between the shade/non-shade and just shoot with those readings until you sense a change in luminosity. This way you will start to realize how you sense the subtleties of light. When I use, or rather rely on in-camera meters, I tend to miss this a bit. It is a good connection somehow... my 2 cents

Good advice on taking a few readings, something simple but easy to forget. Thanks.

With my M3 and M2, I use my iPhone. Check out "Honey 16", "Pocket Lightmeter" and "Exposure". It's cheesy but it works!
