It was expensive but worth it

So I took the jump and bought a sekonic digital light meter. Not just any light meter but the best one sekonic make designed for cinematographers. It cost a hefty £380 and then £42 for the profile target the target is designed to work by recording the range the camera can expose from highlights to shadows without losing details. This is known as the dynamic range of the camera and links do the light meter constantly showing this range on the meter to ensure that when lighting one doesn't over or underexpose the image this is incredibly important as the range ok a canon DSLR is only small so it's very important that you are working within the parameters that the camera can capture. This profile target can be set up for any digital camera so will be incredibly useful when working in the industry especially if i go into freelance work as I can create profiles for any cameras we would be using on the shoot. The light meters lumisphere can also be raised and lowered for taking incident light readings and when the sphere is down one can get more specific readings from individual lights. The meter also has 1 degrees spot meter for reflected readings which is another great tool for getting readings. I imagine this will take some time to master all it's settings and I am still learning reflected readings and lighting ratios and compensations but I feel this is the best meter I can get to learn all of these as it is designed for cinematographers and I feel when I do master it all it will be a great tool for my cinematography and I am very excited to get and play with it. I also hope to have a good enough understanding to use it for my own film. So will continue studying it as we'll as different readings and will probably make a post on here before too long. I will also leave some pictures of it on this post.
