LIGHT IS
WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT
Successful photographers compose their images with light!
The interplay of light can be a source of either frustration or inspiration for photographers – depending on the photographic situation. Essentially, photography
attempts to create moods by interpreting or influencing incident light at the scene and capture them with the help of photographic techniques.
Precise, repeatable exposure plays a significant role in this respect and may not be left to chance.

Handheld exposure meters are image composition tools whose possibilities
by far exceed those of the measuring systems included in the camera –
for, thanks to precise incident light measurement with spherical or flat
diffuser, flash measurement with evaluation of the incident light ratio,
differentiated contrast measurement and mean value generation, as well as
spot metering independent of focal length and measurement in accordance
with the zone system.
The diverse exposure options and extensive information provided by
modern camera systems would appear to make external exposure meters
superfluous. However, closer examination reveals that this information is only
conditionally meaningful for an evaluation of correct exposure. The histogram
merely depicts the distribution of tonal values within the image and must
be interpreted depending upon the subject, as well as lighting. The photo-

grapher needs lots of practice and experience to this end. Visual control
at the uncalibrated camera display, which is only effective to a given ex-
tent in bright ambient light, only reveals grossly incorrect exposure settings.
The image frequently has an entirely different appearance in a calibrated
monitor. Subsequent correction options available at the computer are time
consuming, are incapable of replacing missing detail in highlighted areas
and shadows, and represent a direct contradiction to the dynamic workflow
associated with digital photography.
With more than 75 years of experience in the production of exposure meters,
we at GOSSEN are well aware of the bright and dark sides of photography.
We support all photography enthusiasts in making the best of any lighting
situation. The foundation of a brilliant photo is laid by means of high imaging
quality, of which correct exposure is an essential component.
