  Paris... Mon amour II.
Today's second Paris post. I don't spend a lot of time in churches as a rule (and that's an ideological rule, not just because I'm a backslider). However, I'm a sucker for St Chapelle, the famous church in Paris whose interior seems to have been hard-carved from stained glass. That's a lot of glass and two thirds of the glass dates back to the thirteenth century. I don't have any cameras that could do justice to this fabulous place and it's only thanks to Steve's wife, CJ, that I ever saw it at all. Last time I was there, I took the Mju and this is what I got. From what I can remember, I'd switched the flash off and had the spot pointing at the statue.

 
Comments:
very nice example of using spot meter

Mjuser Tips

Buy two: they're cheap.
Put 100iso in one and 800/1600iso in the other. Use the first by day and the other by night. It beats compromising on 400iso film everywhere.

Use extreme film.
The Mju can handle anything from 50iso - 3200iso.
Become a night owl.

There's a spotmeter.
Use it.

Switch the flash off.
Flash can turn your subject into a victim.
Sometimes the camera doesn't even need it.
Use fast film instead.

Try black and white.
You can now get b&w film that can be processed in colour labs.

Have it on you.
Keep chanting that one...

Take your time.
The Mju is so good that you can use it like an SLR.
So take your time and compose your shots properly.

It's behind you!
Remember to look behind you as you walk along.
You could be missing a great photo.

RTFM: read the f... ine manual.
There are things you won't find out if you don't.
See spotmeter above.
