Re: Module 2 - Grey Card info palette readings for " correct exposure"
      09/07/2008 13:08

Like quite a few people on this forum, I'm struggling with my grey card shots. My first attempts with a D2x camera and a 5omm F1.4 lens(100ISO)were taken outside. Although for much of the time-it was overcast-the light did change quite a bit.

My "correct exposure" readings(using the info palette) for a shot taken at F8 @ 1/60th were as follows:

R88 G91 B98. I tried taking readings from different parts of the image and these varied slighly from those given. Anyway-these readings are nowhere close to the recommended 128 in each channel.

What else can I do? Am thinking of re-taken the shots indoors at night in my kitchen. No doubt, I'll have to change the White Balance to Fluorescent as I'll be shooting under these lightening conditions.

Any advice much appreciated.

ChrisG.
