  1. If somebody didn't tell me those pictures were manipulated, I couldn't tell the difference ?
  2. After thoroughly reading the Manual this is what it says: [5. Auto Power Off function 1. To conserve battery power, the meter will turn off about twenty minutes after last use. 2. Whether the Auto Power Saving feature turns the power off or the Power button u is pressed, the settings and measured values remain stored in memory. When the Power button is pressed again the last settings are displayed.] It could be there is something wrong with my meter ?
  3. The problem is that this meter is very easy to turn on. All you have to do is tap the Power button. To turn Off the light meter you have to tap and hold the Power button. The LCD is only illuminated in low light. Otherwise, the meter displays your last reading, whether you took it 2 minutes ago or 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure how much this drains the sort of expensive 6V battery ? I noticed this when I took a reading earlier during the day, then I went out to run some errands. About 1 hour later I returned home and my last reading was still being displayed on the LCD ! My Minolta meter turns Off after about 2 minutes to save battery power ? It's no big deal, all I have to do is remember to turn the meter off, but supose the meter is inadvertently turned On while in my bag which is very easy ?
  4. I like it ! It's simple and straight forward. The wide aperture forces you to concentrate on the main subject which is the utility box. The background is slightly faded, but not exactly blown away which again, gives more emphasis to the main subject. B&W instead of color makes it easier on the eyes (IMHO). Not sure if you cropped this image, but it does seem appropriate using this format.
  5. There is a lot of depth in this picture that gives it a 3D look. The composition, focusing, colors are all good. There is a slight amount of vigneting in the lower part of the picture, also the brown branch? or whatever that is in the background, is a little distracting. Otherwise good job !
  6. For anybody that has a Sekonic L-358 Light Meter, or has used one, do you know if this Light Meter has an Auto Shut-off feature ? Mine seems to stay on all the time unless I hit the Power button ? I checked the manual and it does say that the iluminated LCD turns off by itself, but nothing about the meter itself.
  7. The snow looks a little greyish. A stop or two over-exposure might have improved this picture...
  8. This morning I noticed the little flowers bloomed in my lens cap with water !
  9. Never realized how hard this (macro) stuff is ! Took me about an hour just to get this so-so looking. I picked these extremely tiny grass flowers earlier during the day and put them in my shirt pocket. Later on when I got home, I put water in one of my lens caps filled with water, to my surprise they started to grow...
  10. I usually use 3-4 plastic graduates(dev/stop/fix/bleach) for my B&W and Color development. After years of using these plastic graduates, only the Development graduate is fogged and has a yellowish color. The other graduates look fine...
