What to Expect:
This workshop is structured to provide both learning and practice opportunities in an inspiring outdoor setting. Here’s how the day will unfold:
- One-Hour Instruction Period
The workshop begins with a focused one-hour session on manual exposure techniques. Our expert instructor will cover key concepts such as:- Understanding the exposure triangle (ISO, shutter speed, and aperture) in-depth.
- Mastering metering modes and adjusting for different lighting conditions.
- Metering Modes Explained:
- Matrix/Evaluative Metering: This mode evaluates the entire frame, dividing it into zones and analyzing the light in each zone. It’s ideal for balanced exposures in complex lighting situations.
- Center-Weighted Metering: This mode prioritizes the central area of the frame while considering the surrounding areas to a lesser extent. It works well for portraits or when the subject is in the center.
- Spot Metering: This highly precise mode measures light from a very small area (usually 2-5% of the frame). It’s perfect for backlit subjects or scenes with strong contrast.
- Partial Metering: Similar to spot metering but evaluates a slightly larger area (often 10-15% of the frame). It’s useful for isolating the subject without considering the full background.
- Metering Modes Explained:
- Techniques to achieve perfect exposure in challenging outdoor environments.
- Tips for creative control using manual settings.
