But Matty, I was only following your advice. Your statement of complete and utter certainty, that no matter what light source, no matter what angle it's from, type, colour, creed, intended artistic interpretation, the meter must, I repeat, MUST be pointed at any and all light sources and never at the camera.
I shoot medium format film, I use a spot meter for almost everything I do, so I literally don't care about how people use their incident meter as long as it works for them! But you're not arguing that your process works for you, you're arguing that metering to the camera is wrong, and it isn't.
This is just getting boring now.
To any reading, try both methods, so how you get on, nobody cares how you meter, it's certainly not something I ask myself when I see a shot I like, WOW MR TESTINO, WHERE DID YOU POINT YOUR INCIDENT METER?
