  • Light is quintessential when it comes to photography, and understanding how your camera meters light is just as important. Spot Metering, Matrix Metering, 18% Grey, do any of these words mean anything to you? If not, then this video will teach you everything you need to know.

      You took the words out of my mouth. I love seeing beginner videos using something other than a 5D mark III or higher with a $2000 lens.

    Old Technique:
    -Spot meter on the mid tone
    -Set Focus on the eye
    -Recompose
    -Take the shot
    New Technique:
    -Let the camera do the job.
    -Take the shot.

    Thank you for explaining the varying select area and defining that the choice is proprietary. This explains the different photos when I shoot with other brand names DLSRs.

  • @mackyhowy8581
    @mackyhowy8581 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    EXTREMELY GOOD info. I always find myself in AV mode w/Evaluative based on the assisted description the camera gives me which is "Good for most scenes" argh! But then when I look at my photos later I see that most of them are over exposed.. I'll try to get in the habit of spot or center weighted.. I'll be practicing tomorrow!

    I never paid attention to my metering setting on my camera because I didn't think it was important. I was so ignorant. Wow! Thank you so much for this. It has made me more aware and considerate on another important setting when taking my pictures

  • @JohnMcConnell113
    @JohnMcConnell113 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I disagree with writing off evaluative/matrix metering. Center weighted is weighted for the center of the frame. so if you follow the rule of thirds then that generally does you no good either. evaluative is what i use mostly and i utilize exposure compensation to adjust if needed. it keeps things consistent unlike spot metering. Shoot in raw and slightly under expose skin so you don't get any blown out highlights in the face.

    TLDW? For portraits, use center weight if on the go (eg. spontaneous photo shoots), and use spot metering for controlled situations (ex. controlled/static photo shoots).

  • @saxman3784
    @saxman3784 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Right at the end of the video you mentioned to bring in the fill light after spot metering her skin. Do you recommend metering before the fill light or should you meter once the fill light is on her face? I'm assuming the way you did it was correct but wasn't sure if it made a difference. Excellent video, btw! That answered so many of my metering questions, particularly about where the meter reads and if you can move it. Thank you and I hope you're able to answer my question above.

    I bring a grey card, reflect my light source off of it, and spot meter on that- or use a phone light meter app and point it at the grey card in the same condition. For switching between digital and film, so far that's worked for me. It just sucks in situations where light changes fast. :)
