rules,
but
there are
also
times
when

and/or
illuminated
by backlighting
and the
receptor
must
be directed
at
the
light source
itself
in order
to
meter and
determine
the
proper
exposure.
In such situations
light
from all sources
will
have a
drrect effect
on
the exposure,
and
it
is necessary
to
point
the
receptor
in
numerous
directions
in order
to
properly
meter the
overall
light situation.
In such situations,
a standard
reading
should
be
taken
with
incident
light
metering,
and
the
receptor
should
be
pointed
both
up, away
from
the
light
source,
and
directly
at the
source.
The exposure
must then
be determined
