For Albert and whomever else was wondering about proper exposure at
night. Get one of these:
<http://www.blackcatphotoproducts.com/guide.html>
The Black Cat Extended Range Exposure Guide is a plasticized cardboard
calculator dial that comes with a long list of lighting situations which
are given a letter grade called the Universal Light Code. Dial in the
letter grade on the calculator to get the correct exposure.
Some night examples from the list: Boatdocks at night with dim light =
"Q", buildings with floodlights = "N", buildings with dim floodlights =
"O", fires at night with area detail = "I", fires at night, flames only
= "H", dark landscape with full moon = "T", etc, etc.
The complete list is 74 different lighting scenes. There is also a lot
of other exposure information and the calculator panel also has a
built-in hyperfocal chart and gray card. If costs $20 but I thought it
was worth it.
Check the links for "Universal Light Code" and take a look at the gallery.
