First of all, I have to praise your cowboy pictures, They are really good. If you could explain more about the light measurment and how did you plan it in real time it will be great help for my understanding.
Thanks,
Moshe. #110

I agree with Moshe about your cowboy picures. They are extremely good. I would also like to know know you metered this scene to get this completly perfect exposure. Thanks! #189

First of all, this scene was metered by the camera using averaging meter. Then as is usual with most of my exposures of Fuji color slide film 100-400, I under expose about 1/3 to 1/2 stop, depending on the brightness of the scene. I try to shoot with as slow a shutter speed as is consistent with the action. In this shot, the action was coming straight at me, therefore was able to use from 125 to 250 sec. Made two exposures of each shot, as fast as the camera would shoot. Many photogs are confused by the dust clouds, thinking that the dust is darkening the scene. The opposite is true, the dust is brighter than the surrounding area! #220

Lou,
You have a great sense of composition and obviously understand exposure every well. A question; You said you used averaging meter, is that the center-weight or the matrix metering? #228

Lou Greenberg May 05, 2001

Yes, sorry that I forget the Nikon designation matrix, it is an averaging type of meter. #230

Hi Lou, This is a real show stopper. I have to enlarge it every single time I browse by. Are you still shooting equestrian scenes? I would really like to see some more of your Photographs. ANYTHING! Havn't seen any recently. Do you have any new pictures? regards, Donna #1046

Lou,

Your current "Mitten 2" shot brought me to your gallery...wow what a photographer you are....children, landscapes, and THIS. Have you sold this picture, seems like I've seen it as a cowboy boot ad. Right?
Thoroughly perfect picture!
