Finding the correct IE for film, changing film speed vs developing time.

I was reading an old interview with Edward Weston, in which he says " I just expose for the highlights and let the shadows look after themselves". I kind of like his contrary thinking!

It's not really "contrary" thinking, it's just a decision about what's most important.

See Dunn & Wakefield's Exposure Manual.

If I remember correctly, Weston used a form of extinction metering which can change the interpretation of the quote.
