Gossen Starlite - Manual (Page 36)

36 GOSSEN Foto- und Lichtmeßtechnik
Some types of color film come with special infor-
mation or notes with instructions for shots with
long exposure times. But the most up-to-date infor-
mation can always be directly obtained from the
film manufacturer. The Schwarzschild effect can
also lead to color alterations, which can then be
recitfied with a color correction.
In snow
For snow-covered landscape, the reflected light
measuring method will produce insufficient expo-
sure. Due to the particularly high degree of reflec-
tion of snow, important areas of the subject would
be under-exposed.
For measurement adjustment, use 1 to 1.5 EV
higher.
But the better solution is of course to use the
incident light measuring method, which produces
precisely the right measurement result. If you wish
to achieve particular effects, such as subtle shade
nuances in the snow, reduce your exposure by
approximately 1/2 stop.
With the Starlite you can obtain the precise and
suitable exposure data for every photographic
subject. Bear in mind that the film material may not
be able to cope with extraordinarily strong subject
contrasts.
