Wow, that was an intense course! I just ordered my first light meter, and I feel like I'm going to hit the ground running with it! I'm glad I learned the correct way to use it. I've been judging exposure from my histogram, and now I know why my results were not always what I wanted. Correct exposures from now on! I'll probably come back and review this course after I get my meter.
