A friend once told me that less light is always harder. Trying my hand at minimalism, I now know all too well what he meant. Hopefully the presentation online doesn't erase the shadow detail here, which is quite present.
@jtk That's exactly what I did. I used my fantastic Gossen Digisix, metered near the sunlit portion, opened up a stop and bracketed a stop on either side of that, as well. Nothing fancier than that, although I kind of am intrigued by going back for a reshoot and trying out stand development on this scene -- I'm curious about the difference in shadow detail and curbing of highlights.
