Book Reviews of KODAK Gray Cards (Black and White Photography)

Book Review: True, but not the whole truth
Summary: 1 Stars

Beware reviews where ALL give 5 stars. That often means the publisher's advertising people have been hard at work.

Yes, cameras are set to determine exposure based on the reflectivity of 18% grey. That's because this is the reflective value of common objects such as people, grass, bricks and grey concrete.

Grey cards are helpful to determine the correct exposure when you're photographing something brighter or duller than this 18% grey. For example, in snow, on water, or in a really dark environment. But, they're no good if you can't alter the exposure on your camera. Sp, if you don't have an SLR camara, don't bother.

Plus, for a lot less money, a brown paper bag - like the one you used to get your school lunch in, or even the hand on the end of your arm, will give you exactly the same result!

Summary of KODAK Gray Cards (Black and White Photography)

An invaluable tool for capturing perfect images! Correct exposure is the essence of good photography, and with these neutral test targets you can eliminate errors. When you take reflected-light meter readings off of a Kodak Gray Card rather than a subject of unknown reflectance, you are guaranteed more accurate exposures. You will be delighted by the "true-to-life" colors and tones in your photographs, digital images, and videos. The cards are also useful for calibrating exposure meters and determining lighting ratios. Package includes one 4 x 5 inch and two 8 x 10 inch Gray Cards along with complete instructions for use.
