photographing
scenes

(trees,
buildings,
etc.),
hold

as directed
in

When
the
subject
and camera
are
struck
with different
quantities
of light,
move
to
where
the
subject's lighting
cond
ition
is

Distant
Landscapes
Photographs
of
distant
landscapes
are
often
hazy
and
over-exposed
due
to
the influences
of the
sun. For
good,
clear
photographs
take
one
reading in
the
normal
way
with
the
Lumisphere
held at the
camera
position,
away
from
the
scene
a
nd a
second
reading
with the
Lumisphere
pointed
directly
at the
sun.
Set
the
'rH"
or
t'L"
mark
halfway
between
these
two
readings.
Note
1:
The
quickest
and easiest
way
to figure the
halfway
mark
is to
find
the
mid-value
of two
foot candle
which
the
needle
has
indicated.
Be
caref ul
to note
the correct mid.values
of
foot
candles.
For
example,
between
25o
and 64
foot-candles
the
mid-value
is
r25.
Between
r25
and 64
foot-candtes the
mid'value
is
indicated
by
an unnumbered
white
line
on the Diat
Scale.
Another
method
for
finding the
halfway mark
is to set
the
dial
to the
two Dial
scale
numbers and
to
note the two
shutter
speeds.
The
shutter
speeds
can then be
averaged and
an
f/stop
obtained.
Note
2:
People
in
a
landscape
must
betreated
as
part
of the
scenery.
They
should
not
be'read'individually
as with
portra
its.
