Sekonic Studio Deluxe L-28 C2 - Silhouetted Scenes; Direct Reading Method with Slides

ln
pictures
of
side
or
back-tighted
scenes,
the
front of
the
subject
may
appear
too
dark while
other
parts
of
the
photogra
ph
are
over-exposed.
This,
of
course, m
ay
be
your
desired
effect;
but, if
not, take two
readings,
one in
the regular
way
with
the
Lumisphere
directed
away
from
the
subject,
a
nd a
nother with
the Lumisphere
directed
towards
the
light
source.
Use
a
setting m
idway
between
these
two
rea
d
ings,

Silhouetted
Scenes
To
silhouette
objects
(persons,
trees,
etc.)
against
a
bright
sky
or
sunset,
r€move
the
Slide a nd
turn
the
Lumisphere
directly
towards
the
sun,
(as
if
you
were
using
a reflected
light
meter).
Set the
'rH"
mark
to the
needle
reading,
though
the
Slide
is
out.
Deliberate
under-exposure is
necessary
to
record
the
source
of
light.
Objects in
the foreground
will
be silhouetted.

Direct Reading
Method
There are
nine
different Direct Reading
Slides
available
for
the
Sekonic Studio
Deluxe. They m
ay be
used
with
the
Lumisphere
or
Lumidisk,
but
not
with
the
Lumigrid.
As
previously
explained, the H IGH
Slide can be
used
not
only
for
high
illumination
measurement
but
also
for
direct
readings. The
nine
Slides, however,
are
only for
direct
readings.
