Incident Exposure Metering

I shot some family portraits for my neighbour recently, these are a couple of those, one of his kids with their grandparents and the other of his sister, her husband and the parents. The thing about this shoot is that I used an incident light meter and manual exposed the images based on the meter readings. These shots are just as the were exposed ...and I think much better than if I had used the camera's built in meter, which reads reflected light. No matter how good the modern camera, and matrix metering and all that technology, I doubt I would have nailed the exposure in this example as well as did the incident reading.
