well I don't use a meter. I shoot in Manual mode and use mono lights/umbrella combo. I under expose the whites, ( using the histogram), mostly because I shoot young kids that have little color in their faces. I mainly use LR to manipulate the highlights and shadows. I was thinking of using a ND filter, in the hopes it would take out the hot spots. Im big on detail in the photos. Hoping some other photographers would have a recommendation.
I admit to having little experience with ND filters. I don't understand why using an ND filter would smooth out hot spots better than using a smaller aperture or faster shutter would
