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 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.

One critical aspect of spot metering is not mentioned in this tutorial. Most cameras today will allow you to lock in the exposure when in aperture or shutter priority mode by taking a reading (say on the skin) and pressing the shutter half way to lock that in, you can then recompose the scene and press the shutter button fully to capture the image. This allows you to offset your main subject in the frame which often makes a better composition.

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. :)

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.
@Nunez877 жыл бұрын
in manual mode, I use spot and focus on the same part to meter. I rarely use automatic modes, but when I do, it certainly pays off to use a broader metering. Otherwise the pictures change way too much, and getting a similar set of pictures becomes much harder.

As you pointed out with the centered weighted metering on her skin, darkening the image made the background well exposed, but underexposed her skin in a bad way. My question: how do you manage between that? Do I have to choose between which one I want well exposed? Is that a lesson in the Lightroom tutorials? If so, can you point me in the direction of it?
@souldigital81484 жыл бұрын
In the point that you have queried you would need to use a flash if you want to get good subject and background exposure if exposing for one makes the other under or overexposed or have good natural light otherwise overall you would need to shoot under exposed or exposed just for background and bring up exposure for certain parts if you wanted both with balanced lighting.

Hello, let's say if I'm using Centre-Weighted Metering mode, if the subject is in the middle, the mode will do what it's intended to do. But what if I lock the focus of the subject that is in the middle, and move the composition to either the left or right, would the Centre-Weighted Metering mode still works as intended ? Or the subject must and can only be in the centre for it to work ?

so averaging isn't good unless everything you are shooting is about the same .... and spot or center weighted is good for heavy contrasted subjects....and for this situation you should meter for the brightest area and then use a flash to brighten up the darker areas?
