----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Talbot" : What I've always wanted was a remote lightmeter - a discrete little : device with an invercone I could place near the scene and get it's : results remotely from my shooting position (if you are in a hide : (blind) you can't walk outside when the critter arrives ...). how about a spotmeter and preparation - set up a grey 'spot' out of frame for exposure reference - maybe just a jam jar lid painted grey, white whatever poked onto a metal stake and arranged toward the hide that you can take a current reading from? just a thought K
