Inconnu

Canada

Owned and used by Canadian film maker Bill Mason, who achieved international recognition for his wilderness and canoeing documentaries in the 1960s and 1970s.

Fonction

To measure light levels of a scene and calculate appropriate shutter speed and aperture setting for a particular film rating.

Technique

The Bill Mason collection consists of typical cameras and other equipment in the 16 mm format widely used by documentary film makers in Canada in this period. According to his camera operator, Ken Buck, Mason “lived by” exposure meters. This model was his preferred instrument for outdoor photography. [Ref.1]
