I bought a basic light meter. It helps a lot. I really liked your work discipline phrase. Accomplishing something is not that important, what holds more importance is how you do it, your approach.
There is so much to learn and learned individuals like you who are ready to share their knowledge and experiences are a blessing.
Regards.

Excellent educator and one of the best videos on the actual use of a flash meter. The computer / histogram instant results and photos are invaluable for seeing the results. Very well done - Thank you!

Such great advice! I bought two light meters that I walked around with before I ever got a DSLR, and still have more meters (3) than camera bodies (2).

When you meter, and therefore know, the ratios between lights and shadows you can begin to collect recipes and then accurately REPEAT them again in the future. It sure beats guessing all over again each and every time.

I know so many people that want to just look at their LCD screen or tethered screen and then just guess their way to a pleasing picture. What I say is this, lighting ratios do EXIST whether you want to acknowledge their existence or not. It is like gravity. You may not want to acknowledge gravity, but it DOES exist. If you do not think so then just.... jump. And then see what happens.

So with lighting ratios, they always exist. Why not then make use of instruments to record those ratios so that you know what they are? Why not? They are there. Record them so that you can repeat them.

Oh, well. Some people are just not interested, I guess.

If you ever want to send your "old" 758 meter to a good home.... I know an address. :-)

Invaluable knowledge shared here. My first light meter was the Sekonic L-758D and I have now upgraded to the L-858D. One of the best investments in photography gear I have ever made. Great for flash photography and a great edition to my landscape too. Thanks for the video.

Finally I can learn a lot about how to use a flash meter.
Thank you for the tutorial video about flash meter.

[RustyTube]

I have the same meter you used, except with the -U at the end, and it has been sitting unused because I have no idea how to use it. This is the first video that offers some insight into it, so thank you.

I have to agree with Simon Matthews. Fantastic tutorial. Very well paced, explanations given with the examples, good reviewing and descriptions.

Thanks enormously for your time and patience.
