[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 495644, member: 7240"] Does anyone use just "my hunch" metering? Just two days ago I shot all day without metering at all. I just set my desired aperture (for dof) and shutter speed (motion blur) and fired away over 400 shots. The weather changed from rain to sunshine but "my hunch metering" was pretty accurate. None of the shots went to trash bin because of inaccurate metering/exposure (for other reasons though yes). In the film days using negative film the hunch metering was almost foolproof. With digital the tolerance is lower and errors happen. And I would not have shot slides without metering, definitely not. But this is a hobby for me not a job, so the enjoyment is in the path, not at the destination. :) [/QUOTE]
