GREAT SHOT! How did you expose this shot? Did you meter from the sky? Thanks. #161651

Frank, I wish I could remember if I used a graduated Neutral Density filter or not. Either way, I always meter for the brightest area and then set my meter to make sure it does not get overexposed. I shot this with a 4x5 view camera and metered with a 1 degree spot meter. I placed the lightest sky value on Zone 6 1/2 or 1 1/2 over what the meter read. I hope that helps. If I used the graduated filter, then I placed the reading 3 1/2 stops over and used the filter to bring the exposure down. #732599
