PhotoPills is a popular app for mobile photographers, so I was happy to receive a promo email from them with a link to a new ebook: "The Definitive Guide To Always Expose Your Photos Correctly!" available for a free download. From the book description:
You will not only learn how to expose pictures like portraits, the Milky Way, Star Trails, wildlife, travel, black and white, landscapes, long exposures, Moon, sunrises and sunsets, street, light painting, macro, eclipses, pannings...
You’ll also master your camera in such a way that you’ll capture those images that you dream of, both from the point of view of the story you want to tell as well as the exposure.
Here is chapter 2 content that I am reading now, trying to get my photos into a better shape : )
Chapter 2

- Your allies (the light meter and the handheld photometer)
