Can't say enough about how much I enjoy your work.

FYI I just ordered up some Pro Image 100 out of curiosity.
 
Wonderful Michael,
Beautiful palatte ~ colour... like paintings

especially LOVE this page of photos... Magnifique
 
wonderful shots Michael as usual. May I ask what aperture you usually shot at? Not often f1.4 I suppose? I didnt see a lot of bokeh in most of your street shots. Also your exposures are always dead right. Are you using handheld meter?
 
Thanks a lot Helen :)

Hi and thanks a lot. I usually use 100 ISO film, so my lens is pretty open but I usually try to stay somewhere around 2.8, but I do shoot at 1.4 if I need to, or if I decide that I want a photo to look a certain way. I use the meter in m6ttl and if something doesn't seem right, then I just adjust it to what I think it should be. I usually carry a Sekonic L-358 meter with me on trips, but I forgot it on this trip to India so I had to make do with guessing.

cheers, michael

Thank you Michael for sharing your secrets! :) I also have M6TTL. Do you think buying a Seconic is a good idea or you are satisfied with M6 metering?
 
Thanks a lot Erik, I had a blast hanging out with you in Amsterdam.

Thanks again, I am happy to share. Personally, I think carrying a light meter has many advantages to it, it helped me "learn" a lot about light in tricky situations over the years. Honestly, my Sekonic does not weigh a lot, it does not take up a lot of space, and if I attach it to my waist during a day of shooting, I hardly even notice it.

I think a more important question for anyone that is debating about whether to get a meter or not is, "do you need one?", and "are your photos exposed properly?"

I have a light meter app on my phone that is pretty accurate, but it is too slow and I prefer to use my meter over the app on my phone.

I trust and use the meter in my M6ttl most of the time, I only use my Sekonic when I have doubts.
