The light was fading quickly up on Hurricane Hill, but a final little burst
of weak sunshine really brought the colors forward.
The Contax AX and Yashica ML 24/2.8 is a wonderful combination.
I spot metered, took an average, opened up 1 stop from the average,
and nailed the exposure in this high contrast situation. What a
great camera! It picked up the shadows and highlights without a
problem. Nice lens as well.
