Everybody thinks your smart when you can do something they can't.
Jon,
This is the meter I've been using lately. The price is right too. http://www.fredparker.com/ultexp1.htm
Don't waste your time on these guesstimate methods or consipracy theories. Get a real meter. There's nothing mysterious about these thingies. It's dead easy to get perfect results using one.

I agree with QG, the human eyes are very poor instruments for estimating light intensity because they react too quickly, IMHO not using an exposure meter is not a sign of wisdom, but foolishness.
benjiboy (and QG),
Another example, is something I gleaned from wedding shooters like Jonathan Canlas and Jose Villa. For each situation they normally shoot they have normal settings that rarely, if ever, change. If the shot is backlit by late afternoon sun it's xyz period, open shade it's abc, blah, blah, blah...
Sure, these guys carry meters but for 90+% of what they do they don't need it.
