Excellent tutorial, I too use a grey card for many scenes, but as I have said in a previous thread, I meter off a mid tone when doing a landscape (maybe I am wrong to do this) the main problem that I encounter is that some landscapes have a big variance between highlight and shadow which can cause serious blowouts, also because some of my landscapes are very wide, it is difficult if not impossible sometimes to get a similar light reading off a card for something that can be a couple of miles away because the light where I am can be very different from my point of focus. Any thought appreciated LP
