Understanding Metering
Saturday 08 February
N Galvin Pkwy, Phoenix, AZ 85008 - 10am - 2 Hours
Bryan Traylor
Metering is an incredibly important aspect of photography to grasp. You might have heard about the exposure triangle but I believe we should be talking about an exposure square with metering being the forth side as it is equally as important to getting the correct exposure as your aperture, ISO and shutter speed.
We will explore how and when to use each of the metering options and how to use it to get some creative lighting in your shots.
