  3. New committee!

  4. Understanding metering • 3 types of metering • Matrix / evaluative • Centre weighted • Spot • A phone can probably do 2 of these. An SLR should do all 3. Nerdy, techy stuff….

  5. Who cares how the camera meters? Randomly point the camera an you’ll get this…. If possible, take a second , find a focal point and adjust. Fine, but probably a bit washed out Bit better, more pronounced If you’re in hurry, just make sure 60-70% of the photo is taken up by the sky and the camera or phone will do the rest. Best. Camera adjusts to the ‘most important’ subject Example: Rosemary Deevy

  6. Think about the right time of day • Sunset / sunrise….fairly clear! • Check times, remember golden hour • Interior silhouettes….not so clear. You need a strong light source in the background.

  7. Take back control…of your settings • On an SLR: • Close down the aperture • Ramp up the shutter speed • Bring down the ISO • On a phone: • Click on the subject and adjust…. Clicking on the subject tells the camera this is the most important part of the picture. You can then move your slider to give it a helping hand.

  8. Sunset / Silhouette Ideas Introducing people Focus on figures, expose for the sky Sun behind figure gives a backlighting effect…just make sure it’s fully behind or you get lens flare ‘Standard’ sunset Paul Fitz.
