2. Typical Scenery

In the case of scenery, measure by using the Lumisphere at the camera position (refer to section on Incident Light Measurement). Although the previously described standard holding method is adequate, if lighting conditions of subject and camera positions are dissimilar, move the meter to a position where conditions are the same type as those of the subject and point in a direction parallel to the camera optical axis. If the subject is shadowed, either move the measuring position to the same type of location or reproduce the same conditions with the hand or other means. Portrayals of buildings etc. can be considered as general middle distance scenery, while main subjects can be treated in the same manner as described in the section on Portrait Photography.

3. Observatorial Scenes

This refers to the situation where a distant object in the subject field forms an important part of the pictured scene.

Examples: Observatories, distant views, etc.
