Whoopee! No more shooting my gray card! I guessed that this is where you were going at the start of your video; BUT the magic is spot metering! I'm almost always on evaluative. Adding the beautiful histogram brings it all home. Shoot for the highlights. Yeah! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Problem is, out here in the Berkshires where we are normally buried in snow this time of year, we have none.

Not all light meters are tuned to 18% grey, there are some that use approx 15% grey, some closer to 12%. Not all grey cards were the same either, which is why pros spend the extra for a MacBeth/X-Rite Color checker or one of their other products to help exposure, etc. Originally I was taught that the 18% grey card was based off of the reading you'd get off of green grass in full sun. There's also the rule of thumb "Meter off the palm of your hand and open up one stop.' I used to work at a pro camera store and I would give customers this example. If you had three sheets of cardboard, one white, one middle grey and one black then a light meter that you point at the subject will give you the white board as middle grey, and the black board as middle grey. substitute the black interior of a car or a bathroom that's all white tile and you'd get the same problem. (I"'m ill today so have to cut this short)

Great vid matey - thanks for your time and input on this subject. :¬) (Just the correct amount of video... Circa 5 mins)

Is changing the white balance to around 6700k etc an easier solution? What are the drawbacks to this solution? I have watched the channel for years and have been to several of your workshops. Thanks

Two different things. The color temperature of the light is dry different from the amount of light.
