other than your information, your tommy bahama hat is sick.
thank you. very informative !
Hi, I have one question. Does it use any focus point to metering the scen?
HELLO FRIEND WHEN SHOOTING A FASHION SHOW WHAT MATRIX SHOULD I USE AND ALSO USE SINGLE SHOT OR CONTINUES. I USE D700
perfect, your are the Jackie Chan of photography
: oh i thought when you use Matrix, it will meter all areas in the frame giving you correct exposure all thoughout. thanks for your reply.
You can use matrix if the lighting is not very tricky. But the bottom line is that when you preview the shot, you quickly adjust the shutter speed accordingly. When I photograph 2 people of different skin, I use reflector to add some extra light on the darker skin person. Hope this helps.
Me too like the way you’re explaining things especially the “why” and the “answer”. 1 quick question. Does this mean Matrix/evaluative is best in group shots? Sometimes in group shots, there’s a person that is fair, black and white complexion, that’s where the over/under expose deliberately, right? opps i lied that’s a 2 question. lol. subscribing.
I agree on there being no viable reason to use Center metering in most photos…but my instructor wants us to & now I don’t know what subject to use! He was clear on Rule of 3rds, yet he still wants us to try all the metering options in an assignment.
Any insight on the right subject matter for “center”???
Good review!!
Awesome job man!! Your videos are really easy to understand and they have helped me a lot! Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Lol
All I can say is. YOU ARE THE MAN! GREAT VIDEO!
great tutorial
very well explained tutorial.
good video thank you
@PhotographersOnUTube Thanks
I’m not sure when. Maybe in a week or two. Next video is Quick Shots – Princeton University. Not sure when I’ll do the filter video. I don’t use them anyway. Polarizing cuts glare, ND blocks light, UV protects lens. I don’t do long exposure during day, I use post processing for polarizing and my hood protects the lens and I am extra careful on top of everything.
When is your next tutorial? Will there be a Len’s Filter tutorial? UV filter? ND filter? Circular Polarizer Filter? and what are they purpose?
Thank you! You missed the part where I talked about over/under exposing the subject deliberately. I also talked about using matrix for portraits once you have enough shoots under your belt you’ll know right away. Just shot a wedding using matrix metering. Will be shooting another wedding on 14th using spot based on client’s skin tone. I already know the red in my RGB histogram is going to over expose by 2/3 stop. Eventually all this will be covered under wedding photography
Good job on the explanation, you gave the “why” and then the examples showing “why”. Overall, quality lesson. I cannot get with the idea however that spot metering is best for portraits as a general statement. The reason is because if you have a dark subject with a white suit on or with a white background, you’ll have problems. Same thing if the opposite is the case (light subject/dark clothes). However, if the subject’s face is 1/2-3/4 of the frame, your comment is true. My $.02.
Appreciate that, iMac. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos.
Another great video. Your videos are so well thought out and have been in such a logical order. I have really learnt a lot from you. Thanks so much.
Thanks you much. Don’t forget to subscribe for future easy tutorials.
Matrix is pretty sophisticated and should be used for everyday shots. For portraits, spot metering would be better. But again, sometimes no matter what mode you use, it gets fooled. That’s when we improvise and make the adjustment with either aperture/shutter or ISO.
Great tutorial! Every beginner needs to watch this as it is spot on in explaining the different types of metering.
