The Joys of Incident Metering, and the Continued Awesomeness of Robinson Preserve

Got a light meter recently, and I must say, incident metering is absolutely, immensely awesome. I can now just stick the meter right up in someone’s face and get a perfect exposure straight-off: no chimping or guessing. And as an added bonus, it even tells you how much of the exposure is made up by flash and ambient. So, new meter in hand, I took a trip out to the recently opened Robinson Preserve, to give it a little test run, and have fun in the park, of course.
