Learning photography can a tricky hobby. On the one hand, it’s exciting because there are so many facets to creating and editing our digital pictures. On the other hand, it can be frustrating because some aspects of the equipment and process are difficult to understand.
One of the least understood components on a digital camera is the metering system.
Many photographers leave it on one setting- and never bother to change it.
That’s unfortunate, because the camera metering system is one of the most powerful tools built into your camera.
Jason Row has created a video for us in which he explains the three basic metering mode systems.
Jason also gives you a breakdown of three different images, and why he chose a particular metering mode for that situation.
There are some super valuable lessons to be learned in this video!
Jason Row is a British born travel photographer now living in Ukraine. You can follow him on his Facebook page. He also maintains a portfolio of his work here.
