Metering for sunsets. Hey guys.. Im wondering how I would effectively meter a sunset or other shot facing directly into sunlight using my MF rangefinder. Is it the same as a normal camera? See I know with my EOS, I would normally meter a part of the sky NEAR the sun but not actually have the SUN in frame when metering. I would then recompose with sunset in frame and SNAP!! so is it the same?.. if I use aperture priority and meter an area near the sun it will give me a shutter spd for my selected aperture...as I dont have exposure lock, if I then flick to manual and select the same shutter manually and then recompose with sun in frame is it gonna work?.. hehe a bit confusing. PLLLLZZZZ help meeeeeeee :PPP
