Even though they may know very<BR/>well why they're doing what they're doing, they may hold this<BR/>understanding in a wholistic, non-linear way that is difficult (if not<BR/>impossible) to express in linear speech and writing.<BR/><BR/>A<BR/><BR/>not at allAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2004657051821572810.post-54470086229484910592008-11-18T17:58:00.000-01:002008-11-18T17:58:00.000-01:00thank you for the tip BIKE JAX! and actually, its ...thank you for the tip BIKE JAX! and actually, its a WWII era model, it has no internal light meter, so I am using an old on that came with it...perhaps it is the light meter, not I, that is all messed up...that doesn't explain my lack of focus though...<BR/><BR/>wish me luck!madeleinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06266536823444637061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2004657051821572810.post-49167194694687974372008-11-18T17:25:00.000-01:002008-11-18T17:25:00.000-01:00Of courseOf courseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2004657051821572810.post-63120341938374342492008-11-18T17:22:00.000-01:002008-11-18T17:22:00.000-01:00Madeleine, I rather like the second one.You don't ...Madeleine, I rather like the second one.<BR/><BR/>You don't say what make of or model your grandfathers camera is. But judging from the images here I can tell you the problem. Older cameras, Pre mid-70's camera's didn't always have the most reliable meters built into them.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to guess the meter in your camera is not center weighted. And as it is not center weighted, it is going to read the largest and brightest area. Which was the sky or sun in the case of the images posted.<BR/><BR/>You are going to have learn how to fool the meter. This however is a pretty simple trick. Next time you want run a roll through, if the subject is sun, take the meter reading off the back of your hand in the same light. If the subject is in shade do the same off the back your hand.<BR/>Make sure your hand takes up the majority of the frame when doing this.<BR/><BR/>I think this will give you more desirable results.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558721460437987612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2004657051821572810.post-35856248638570643552008-11-18T17:18:00.000-01:002008-11-18T17:18:00.000-01:00The New Museum has an important and influential le...The New Museum has an important and influential legacy and role to keep breaking new ground.
