AAMOI and something to do and just to confirm what I did about 35 years ago for exposure and used the results then for my thinking and use today....I found my Kodak grey card and in the sunshine took a reading which was 1/250 @f13 h'mm is my very modern film camera more accurate that what I used then Well it might be ok for the sunshine in America or Ibiza (Washington capital is the same latitude as Ibiza) and London would be sorta southern Canada (all fascinating ).... but I prefer 1/250 F5.6 for colour neg for general use in the UK and looks like I'm giving the neg about a stop more as a safety measure (well I use a lot of OOD film so no prob.).
Anyway even if the grey card was made for the US and a slightly darker one should be made for the UK, it doesn't matter as I just wanted to check exposure of other things and found blue sky above and winter green grass gave the same reading as the grey card...my patio with grey stone gave 1/250 @ f8.
And also mind wandering passing the time:- If using slide film up the mountains in the Himalayas it would be interesting to know what exposure to use, if me I suppose I would use bracketing so something should work..but I suppose a digi camera would help to see how the shot looks.
