Hi,

I have seen you describe this technique a few times now, but I (as a
newbee) can't help thinking - won't that give an overexposed picture?


One stop under will just drop the tones in value, remember a meter assumes a
medium gray. so one stop under will give you a range of detail but slightly
muted. doing a twilight shot can put you in the area where reciprocity

Now I get it (I hope) - at twilight I meeter the scene and take the
first shot one below. Now I wait and take the second shot at the same
exposure setting. I think I was expecting that the meetering should be
redone!

surprise when you get the film back)

So basically .. trail and error .. and try again :-)

Thanks for the detailed explanation.
