Bridge OR Lightroom

Being relatively new to pp I'm confused after taking several courses in using PS CC. Some of them recommend using Bridge as a link to PS CC, while some suggest using LR CC as the link.
Do you pros using one program exclusively or use both? Which would you recommend? I like Bridge as it seems easiest to use and will open in Camera Raw then PS. But LR CC seems to have more bells and whistles.
One of the problem I have with Bridge is I can't seem to find my files after the initial use. I'm doing a course thru Lynda.com and they have exercise files to use as you do the course. I can get them loaded into Bridge but then when I close out and/or load new files I can't find the old one again. Is this supposed to happen?
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated with many thanks.

To all the Veterans who are actually hogs. I recognize some of the Hogs are Vets by their byline or avatar. Rather than saying thanks to the few I can recognize I thought I would thank all the vets who are Hogs. If not for you none of us would be here talking about photos, etc. I chase you down in parking lots, restaurants, etc. when you may where a hat identifying yourself or still in uniform.

Thank You All for your service.

Greg

Thank you Greg. I'm proud to have served during the Viet Nam era even though I wasn't "in country". I'm so glad to see my fellow vets getting the recognition they deserve.

Which Light Meter

I purchased this one for around 125 Australian dollars.

It does work well, and very precise. It's just a bit of a hassle when traveling. TSA gets weird about it.

I can see why TSA gets weird about it. The thing looks like something from Star Wars. :lol:

Thanks, Co, I'll check them out.

Which Light Meter

Can anyone recommend a decent Light Meter for under $150 that will show percentage of ambient light to flash? I'm just a hobbyist at this point and don't have the budget for an expensive meter. Many thanks!

Light Meter

Bugfan wrote:

I have a Gossen Luna Six with the spot meter attachment. I have no problems getting batteries for it. It comes from the seventies but still works perfectly. ISO and ASA are interchangeable so that's not a problem.

I love that meter particularly since it allows me to measure very slow exposures but I have to admit that I have supplemented it with a Sekonic L758DR that includes flash metering. The Sekonic gets most of my attention now but the Gossen is still loved and used sometimes.

Hi Bugfan - Thanks for your reply. Do you have a source for those batteries you would share? Preferably online. :-D

Light Meter

I have an old (50 years) Gossen Luna Six Pro that I used in my film camera days. It uses the old ASA system which I assume will covert to our current ISO settings. Will it work the same way for readings? The old battery in it isn't strong enough to give me a reading so I need to find new ones if it is worth while and will work with my current and future cameras.
