Okay I have basic skills with a light meter, I can operate a film cameras and Dslrs and so on.
My questions is this.
Say Im sat in a park doing a shot of two people sat on a bench, The weather is sunny with clouds and in the golden hour so not directly above, They are sat in partial shade and I will be using a reflector to bounce some soft fill. Do I take an incident reading from my actors faces and use that reading for my F stop Would this effect the exposure of the sky.
As much as I have searched I have not found a decent tutorial anywhere that doesn't include Lighting, Seeing as I have access to reflectors only these don't really answer my questions.
I ask mainly as I don't want to waste a ton of film before I get half a grip of what light Im putting in the camera.
Sorry if there is a thread on this already. Im probably over confusing my brain.
many thanks in advance
