    Very helpful, thanks for the clear explanations. I’m a beginning photography hobbyist, and I learned a lot of useful stuff about lighting from your videos. I’ll catch your other videos as well.

    BTW, I’m a Megan fan too. c”,)

    One of the most common human error… Rotate the sensor to the opposite direction from the lighting source, that is how light meter get proper readings.

    Funny everyone don’t go down that direction.

    Sounds like you are still talking about reflective metering. Light meters are for incident metering which measures the light coming TOWARDS the subject. Light meters can also do reflective metering for subjects at a distance.
