Now I understand. Huh!
🙏🏽
I have an entry level Nikon D3500 and it is capable of adjusting the single point metering across its meters. Am I just lucky? Is Nikon the only one that has this on their lowest end cameras?
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. 🙂
Why is the girl upset? 😂
This video is very helpful!
Best video on metering I've seen! Great teaching.
Great tutorial, thank you so much for this video.
Why cant our teachers be like him..he's so good at explaining
Good and easy to understand video. Thumbs up! However tell the model to use other expressions than 'I'm-so-fucking-pissed-off-right-now'. She is gorgeous but a sad face would make her and the image much more appealing 🙂
Thank you!
Very nice vid! Thank you for this!
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).

Can you tell me why in same settings, at same place, 1 person (wearing white prints) came out as over exposed and the other person (wearing dark blue) as under exposed?
Is it for color of clothes?
