Congrats and welcome!

If you've a iPhone or similar smartphone, there are apps that I've found extremely reliable, iOS ones:
Pocket Light Meter
FotometerPro

As you read the above, getting a meter up on your phone might get you thinking about the photographic triangle (ISO, aperture and shutter speed).

Welcome to the fun!
