Spot metering in Manual mode???? there is no metering in manual mode. Unless you use auto ISO, but then it is not manual mode.
Great to see you back. It's been a while. Looking forward to more tips from you.
Using constant light and mirrorless camera offer faster solution to find desired exposure than using spot metering value. Setting up Zebra to value you know is the maximum safe exposure for post proccess, It is easy to know where are clipping highlights and where are not clipping just by rotating any dial (aperture, shutter speed, ISO). I use manual mode 99% of the time and avoiding clipping highlights where I do not want them just in 2 seconds.
Good to see you are well cousin! Great stuff as usual!
Absolutely amazing….. thank you
Great tutorial Michael. Thank You 🙏
Interesting and informative as always. Your wife is a wonderful model. You are very lucky my friend.
Hi Michael and cousin. Video like always with good sense of humour and knowledge easy to "Take". Thanks.
Always look forward to your tutorials…..
So good to see you two again!
Nice tutorial. The "naked apron" theme is very interesting and one of my favorites because you can shoot your model in virtually any room (kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom etc.)
Welcome back!!! We waiting you so long!!!
Brilliant video. Learning a lot. How would you manage the metering if you were working with studio flash lights?
Great tutorial, thanks Michael.
