Learn how to shoot perfect exposures every time and do it fast. We use a method to determine exposure where we meter manually with our through-the-lens spot meter and compensate for subject reflectance. Using many photo examples, we'll show you how to perfectly expose slide film and digital images, too. This is an important program that every photographer who really wants to control exposure needs to see. Very detailed information from this program is included in your set of notes!
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN...
u Why exposure meters don't tell you how to get proper exposure
u Why camera meters are programmed for 18% reflectance
u What proper exposure looks like on slide film
u How to judge subject reflectance
u When and how to use aperture and shutter priority modes.
u How to properly expose snow, fog, scenes, light and dark subjects
u Why even with automation, you still have to understand the language of stops
u How ISO speeds, shutter speeds, and F-numbers work together
u Why your through-the-lens meter is the fastest and most accurate way to determine proper exposure
u Why your camera manual never tells you how to properly use your through-the-lens exposure meter
u When and how to use AEB (automatic exposure bracketing)
u Exposure techniques for the digital camera (It's easier!)
u How to read a histogram and understand highlight alerts
u Avoiding the five most common exposure errors digital shooter make (Hint! these problems involve the LCD monitor, computer monitor, luminance histogram, auto exposure defect, and exposure compensation button)
