Summary

Light Meters Evolution explores the fascinating journey of light measurement in photography, from early, imprecise methods to today's sophisticated digital systems. Discover how photographers initially relied on estimations and basic tools, gradually adopting selenium and cadmium sulfide (CdS) meters before embracing advanced electronic meters. The book emphasizes how these technological leaps profoundly influenced both the technical aspects and the artistic expression within photography.

 
The book investigates the impact of light meters on photographic aesthetics and creative processes, analyzing how objective measurement systems influenced the development of various photographic styles and techniques. Interestingly, many photographers intentionally deviated from "objective" readings for artistic effect.

 
Readers will gain insights into how the accessibility of light meters shifted from being exclusive to professionals to becoming readily available to amateur photographers, impacting photographic practice across different skill levels. Beginning with the challenges of early photography and rudimentary tools, the book progresses chronologically through the emergence of extinction meters, selenium and CdS meters, and the rise of electronic meters integrated into cameras.

 
By understanding the evolution of light meters, readers will gain a deeper appreciation for the ingenuity of photographers and how technology has shaped the visual arts.

    One day, ever so long ago, it struck me that I should like to try and write a book about Cats. I mentioned the idea to some of my friends: the first burst out laughing at the end of my opening sentence, so I refrained from entering into further details. The second said there were a hundred books about Cats already. The third said, “Nobody would read it,” and added, “Besides, what do you know of the subject?” and before I had time to begin to tell him, said he expected it was very little. “Why not Dogs?” asked one friend of mine, hitting upon the notion as though by inspiration. “Or Horses,” said some one else; “or Pigs; or, look here, this is the finest notion of all:— 
    ‘THE BOOK OF DONKIES,BY ONE OF THE FAMILY!’”Somewhat disheartened by the reception my little project had met with, I gave up the idea for awhile, and went to work upon other things. I cannot exactly remember what I did, or how much, but my book about Cats was postponed sine die, and in the meantime I made some inquiries.I hope I have not been very prosy, and I hope, in the somewhat large collection of Cat anecdotes here brought together, “the only one worth the trouble of relating” has not been omitted. If this has been the case, allow me to assure you it has not been because I have spared any trouble in gathering together my materials. (C.H.Ross)

    While a bit outdated in many of the more complex descriptions of several of the phenomena described, this book is nonetheless still fun and relevant for a person interested in basic chemistry or physics tricks, and the devices built in the book can be easily replicated with more modern materials. The book is split up into many little experiments, tricks, with an explanation on how it works, what's happening, and how to reproduce the effects at home.(summary by Kyle Van DeGlast)
