 A last minute idea, as I couldn't think of anything during the week, and felt compelled to enter as I don't have a stirling track record to keep up :-).

Hand held shot, both the camera and the light meter . Two naked incandescent lights over a wooden desk. The props were the only two photographic items I had in the room, an old box brownie and a Canon flash with remote cord.

I'll be interesting to see if anyone makes a comment about the generations of technology, the modern flash, 70's spot meter and 40's box brownie.

I'll also be interested to see how many people don't know what it is. :-).

For those interested, the meter reading is from the desk surface, although I it was direct light reflection as EV 13.5 is a bit high for indoors under 2x100W lights.

Post editing was just USM, scale and frame in the gimp, this is full-frame for once.

Thanks for your comments..

Another lesson learnt about DPC. Check/correct the whitebalance before uploading a pic to DPC ;-).

I'm quite happy with how it placed though, I don't have high expectations of a photo that took me all of 5 minutes from idea to upload.

Say, does Sekonic make a white balance meter?

Except that this looks like it's from a magazine in the 70's, I think it's a great ad. Nice DOF.
