Hello All, Here's my scenario. I'm lighting straight into a window in a kitchen. I don't have ND for the windows. What is an exceptable exposure ratio between a decently lit face and a blown out window behind them? A blown out window is fine, but not too much where it "bleeds" into their face and wipes out the frame. Is a 5 stop over the key window behind the actor's head a good thing? What's my limit? I know style plays a part, but there is always a point of way too much! Thanks!

Hey Folks, I'm getting into my first TV Pilot to be shot hopefully on the F900. They need a price from me. Anybody know some deals in Los Angeles? I could use some good lenses too! Thanks!

Hello, I'm shooting a Spec Commercial on a Stadium Track at night. The track is lit by rich orange lights, similar to street lamps, so I'm guessing Sodium Vapor. I'm trying to match my HMI's to the stadium lights so I can shift to whole thing to the bluish range. Anybody have a solution to match HMI's to Sodium Vapors. Thanks! Mark
