Christmas Day Fire Images & Snow Exposure

[Mark_Poole@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Mark Poole)]

     I have my images (slide and electronic) of the Lukens Fire.  
     I found a few that look pretty good, or at least dramatic.  I have 
     cropped & paired 3 sets in Paintshop and saved them in "*.jpg" format. 
     They are each about 1.7 meg.
     
     Is there a place that is acceptable for me to show them?
     
     I found a site off of Bob Mannle's (great) 3d Web page:
     ftp://bobcat.etsu.edu:21/pub/photo/photo-3d/images/photo/
     Is this open for uploads?  Is there a better place?
     
     Let's start off by assuming that I'm totally ignorant about how to do 
     Internet file transfers (and just about everything else, at least 
     according to Lauren, [hee, hee]), so we can get past that right away.
     
     I might use one of these in the 3D@xxxxx (or maybe not).  As I 
     reported, my twin rig was giving me some problems (it may be the cold, 
     or it may be the batteries, or just _might_ be the operator).  I did 
     some digital manipulation on the images (on one set I needed to get 
     rid of some lens flare, due to a firetruck spotlight).  
     
     Speaking of exposures and snow- I know that meters can me fooled.  My 
     Minolta 7000i gets pretty consistent results without "grey-carding" 
     it.  I had the box-liner from the film in my pocket, to compare it 
     with. The Kodak chart suggests:
     Bright or Hazy Sun (Distinct Shadows) 1/250 sec at f/16.  
     Based on the Minolta, and my own mental fudging, I was shooting mostly 
     1/100 to 1/150 at f/16.  Sometimes I closed down to f22 at 1/150.
     
     Your advice is sound, and I think I'll start carrying a small cutout 
     from the inside of a cereal box (as close to 18% grey as I can get 
     right now, due to the weather keeping me away from the camera store), 
     and do some tests.  The shots are worth it and I need the practice 
     with the Realist.  
     
     And yes, it is a pain carrying around two cameras.  Does anyone know 
     of a good, moderately priced exposure meter that also calculates 
     flash?
     
     About being good photographers first, then good stereo photographers, 
     second; Yes, this is entirely correct.  I need to start concentrating 
     more on composition, color and form (as well as the technical details 
     of film exposure latitude, etc).
     
     Thanks for the tips.
