A Sense of Light

Once again, Monte Sano was wreathed in clouds, fog and mist.  So I grabbed my little red lantern and headed for the Japanese tea house in the middle of the park.  The lantern wasn't enough light (especially as the sky started getting lighter) so I pulled out my little Nanlite.  I don't have a light meter anymore so I just had to use my eyeballs to match the color temperature of the lantern.  A lot of people have a sense of color, but photographers have a sense of light.
