learning to read light and feeling awkward



We dropped the teens at the top of the mountain.  We came home to rain and I was disappointed as I had hoped to go out on a bit of a photowalk/ adventure with my husband.  Four hours later the sun came out and we grabbed our gear.  I walk around with a light meter in my hand - learning how to use his M2 rangefinder.  I also carry my digital because I like the immediacy of the image.   I feel somewhat burdened by carrying both cameras.  A little geeky.  But, I am doing the work.  I am hopeful I will learn to read the light on my own... and maybe I will learn patience to wait for the film.
