vespa haha. yeah my skin color varies. my feet are kinda reddish tan... my ass is like a piece of printer paper. my face and arms are kinda tan. i should be a little darker considering i have some italian and american indian in me. but hey, a grey card won't work right with people other than light skinned people? will the normal exposure scale work out OK? like i'm thinking i might need to underexpose a darker black person's skin 1-1 1/2 stops. does that sound about right? of course that's only if i take my reading off the skin. now i'm a little confused if a grey card won't work right. i don't have a grey car, but i was planning on metering on a medium grey object near me and using that setting. will that not work out right? i need to leave soon so respond asap!! thanks :)
