Landscape Light

Do landscape photographers use light meters??? are they high up on a NEED basis?

??

It could be that my use of the view camera for a lot of that work makes me think the answer is yes, or it could be that the reason I use one now a lot is also the reason.
So, yes.
The hand held lets you know the contrast, what the need is for detail in the shadows are and the high light area. This way YOU get to decide on the right exposure for the image you want to make.

If you do know how use the meter to do the above then get one. Other wise if you doing digital or 35mm film get one when your ready to enjoy the meter and the entire thought process it brings to your images.
