I calculated the exposure using an old GE handheld light meter, which I promptly dropped on the floor of the famous New York City terminal, destroying the device\u2019s sensitive electro-mechanical photocell and needle.<\/p>\n

That was back in 1986.<\/p>\n

It turned out that my meter had been giving me hot readings. After I bought a new meter a couple of days later, I began obtaining more accurate daylight readings and better overall Kodachrome exposures.<\/p>\n

However, because the meter had been encouraging me to \u2018over-expose\u2019 (allow more light to reach the film than I intended), I actually produced a better color slide here at Grand Central Terminal, because slight over-exposure was necessary to balance the lighting and bring out the grandeur of the architecture.<\/p>\n

If I\u2019d exposed as I intended, my photo would have appeared darker. So,\u00a0<\/em>what makes this photo effective was the result of accidental relative over-exposure. How about that?<\/p>\n
