If you have tricky light it is best to bracket... I too like the over exposure here, especially in the guitarplayers face. The only negative is the bright white shirt which takes over a little bit visually. Love the energy in the photo though.

The result is very good, Ian. Without a spot focussing screen it's hard and tricky to get an accurate light metering especially when you have "mixed light" or even a few musicians on stage. My experience with over/underexposed 3200 film is that it's very hard to correct anything with PS without getting nasty grain.
I like your result and especially the comp/crop. Good work! C.

Yes, that should be taken at 1/60 or 1/100. I suppose that you wanted the faces to be exposed OK and the backgroung dark. You can use the meter correctly this way: go there to the stage and let the light shine on your hand (paw). Meter only the hand without backgound. Human skin is approximately 18% grey on bw photograph. Well, I am talking about central Europe human skin. This doesn?t work with dark skin :-). You can carry a little grey card with you and measure the card. If you are not allowed to get there, you have to guess :-). Yes, the old M42 lenses became cheap now and their optics is sometimes much better then cheap today?s zooms.

Thanks Otto.
I was hoping I'd here from you.
I've never had the opportunity to crank up to a 1.4 aperture.
Does it mean that this shot taken 1/30 could be taken at 1/60? And actually since it's over-exposed 1/100?
Very excited reading reviews of cheap 42mm thread mount cameras to think some of those lenses such as the super multi coated takumars that came with pentax are still functioning o.k..
They used to be standard did thay not but I guess faster film allows for less aperture and more zoomability for buyers so the fixed lenses have become overlooked as consequence. I've been shooting on and off for years but never valued them till now.

18% grey is something like the Add Comment and/or rating box. Approximately.

:-) the tighter crop! :-))) The meter without spot or integral measuring "looks" at the scene and then calculates all light coming from there to get an average. Then it compares the average with 18% grey and calculates the exposure to get the average 18% grey also on the picture. That means if you have darker scene, the meter calculates longer time although you want to keep some parts of the scene darker. 18% grey is an average shade of most scenes with normal light. If you want to snap a scene that is darker, you need to use shorter exposure time than your meter calculates. Also if you snap something on the snow, you must use longer time then your meter calculates otherwise the snow will be grey. The 18% grey :-). I hope you understand me :-). This is normal and you will get used on it soon. The picture is good and I think that you can make it darker with the enlarger. Regards O.
