Michelle it is not often that the difference in light conditions are that vast, but on occasion it is, Pentland hills 1 in my gallery is a good example. I usually meter as you say of blue sky (when available) and then insert the grad if I am going to use one. 9 times out of 10 it is sufficient and works well, on occasion the difference is just too great, and there is nothing as far as I know that can be done, save for allot of PW. I understand the difference between the amount of stops the eye can see in relation to film/digital, that though is down to physical limitations. For the most part I am successful, so I cant really complain.

The Truth is Out There
