How to Spot Meter Slide Film with a Sekonic Light Meter for Landscape Photography

I'm often asked about my metering technique for working with slide film with a Sekonic light meter, so I decided to make this video to show my simple process. I use a Sekonic L-758DR light meter, and the pop-up gray card is made by Manfrotto. This particular Sekonic light meter is discontinued, but past and current versions will have a similar workflow.

Following each video series, I scan the handwritten entries and create an eBook combining them with unedited looks at my film atop a light box. This "Unpolished" series of eBooks is available on my website. The volume for this trip will be released after the final video goes live, but past volumes from previous trips are currently available. https://www.benhorne.com/ebooks If this this is something you're interested in, all past and future volumes of this series are available to those who join my Patreon at the "Annual Zine & Unpolished eBook" level.
