Day 154
I have to say a light meter is something that most photographers think they don't need and maybe they don't given the technology found in modern cameras. However, what most don't realise is there is a massive difference between reflected light which your camera sees and the incident light which is the light falling on your subject. For some basic daylit scenes my camera was over a stop out compared to my meter. This is because a camera is easily tricked by light or dark subjects. When using flash, even in this modern digital age, a good flash meter is indispensable.

Day 134
Seeing this empty wheelchair made me wonder if this 4th blood moon every six months was a sign after all. I'm always intrigued when I see wheel chairs or disability scooters parked outside of shops too. Did they really need them? Isn't carrying shopping even more difficult than just walking? Incidentally, I saw a man cycling on a racing bike as fast as the cars behind him. Normally nothing to get excited about... Except he had just one leg!! His left leg was just a metal prosthetic way up to his hip so wasn't doing much more than spinning round for show.
