Metering and Exposure

Understanding metering and exposure are fundamental to capturing the visual information that you want in your photograph. Without the information that you want, the photograph may fall short of your expectations. We'll cover the variety of metering patterns and exposure modes that are available to us. You'll learn about different types of metering and how they affect the outcome of your picture. We'll also cover manual vs. automatic exposure modes. We'll learn about why you shouldn't always use your camera's suggested exposure settings and about difficult metering situations that can "fool" your camera into producing incorrectly exposed photographs.
