Hi there
I am new to the forum.
A couple of years ago I bought a Gossen Starlite to help improve my photography. I had all good intentions of using it, but never got around to doing so.
Now. The time has come and interest is back all mad and keen that I decided to give it a look over and see if I could work out how to use it. The problem, I can't!
I looked at the manual (
Starlite Manual) but it only confused me:( I know that I am probably being thick but I can not for the life of me understand some of what it gives me.)
What I want to be able to do is just this.
Set the ISO - OK, this I figured out
Set the F number that I am using on my camera
Get the required shutter speed that I should be using
I want to get beyond the metering system of my Canon EOS to be able to do those wonderful sunset pictures with ND Grad filters. I know that the best way forward to do this is to use a meter.
Does anyone have the patience to help a guy out? I have honestly read the manual but to be truthful I find the layout, especially showing the display screen, a bit unfriendly.
Also. Does anyone have any tips for good books on how to use a meter when shooting landscapes and buildings in cities? This is what I shoot the most and I would to be able to do the best that I can
Thanks people for any and all help
Julian
