UNIQUE PHOTO TIP: Incident Light Meter - Use a styrofoam coffee cup over your lens (note: styrofoam cups are different thicknesses, therefore you may wish to "calibrate" this approach using the f/16 rule on a clear sunny day).

Stand where the subject will be, use the camera on manual and set the exposure to the reading of the light diffused through the cup, then walk back to your spot to take the picture.

“There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.”
