boooooooriiiinnnnng
What setting do u use? Aperture or manual or?
does the Metering work in Manual mode?!!
You have the best tutorials on youtube yet! Thank you very much thank you thank you thank you
You have the best tutorials on youtube yet! Thank you very much thank you thank you thank you
so basically your camera light meter is racist lol
bullshit!
nobody shoots on auto
I just started looking at your videos and I enjoy that you are so detail and teaching. That is what I been looking for, someone to teach and explain. Thank You dude continue on.
Does spot metering automatically find your subject or do you have to tell the camera which dot to use?
Your videos helped me learn how to best use my Sony A65 SLT camera. Just wanted to thank you. Cheers.
Recently bought D3200 camera and i was going through your videos one by one…it was awsome…thank you for clear explanation on each thing…really very helpful.
You said spot metering is best for portraits. Is that just for one person? Should I still use spot metering when I take a picture of three people or should I use matrix metering in case?
Great tutorial… But just to add on the center metering, some people like to focus on a subject and move the frame to the composition desired. I think that's the reason why its there on all DSLRs.
Awesome video, got clarity on metering.
Which meter reading do you recommend for taking photos of Newborns? I got confuse between matrix & spot, they seem somewhat similar.
Aspiring photographer here (obviously). Question: On your 3 examples, are you focusing on the darkest spot on the lamp knob, locking the exposure, then composing the image. Or are you composing, focusing on the middle of the frame and then taking the shot? I've exclusively used spot metering with the first method I mentioned (inexperience), regardless of portrait or landscape, but I will try using matrix on my landscape shots. Thanks again sir!
Hey I'm subscribed and the question I had was answered. Thanks.
I don't often read too many comments unless I want to ask a question, I read them to check if has already been asked. Imagine how surprised I am to find your ranting reply to I don't know who! Seriously, ignore people who annoy you and don't get into a slanging match! It's about the photography only! Thanks for the video. I have one bit of advice – never argue with drunks and idiots, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. 🙂
opps, sorry I mean multi segment in sony not wide, wide is for af point :p, I forgot about that sorry
LOL, Evaluative in Canon, Matrix in Canon, and Wide in Sony, maybe that person only has canon and never try other camera. I always shoot center weighted when I shoot flowers close up, because I always put it in the center, beside I always crop it in post processing, what do you think? Should I just use spot metering?
What do you call that lcd protector you have on your camera? Is there one for D5200?
Thank you!
Hi thanks for your videos and tutorials,loved and learning alot from your tutorials,im still a beginner and im using nikon d5200 camera,just want to ask if using the center weighted metering does the camera meter always at the center Even though the my focus point or ring is not in the center or i still need to put my focus point at the center inorder for to meter right? Thanks
Thanks
thanks this helped a lot
i love your tshirt mate, where can i get one….
love the way you explain things, easy to follow
your method of teaching photography is perfect. i just got my d5100 and trying to learn photography. so far i:ve learnt a lot from your videos. im mainly interested in portrait indoor and outdoor. could you pls do a video on indoor photography.
thanks bro! this helps and good job explaining the matrix or evaluative metering. on the photo example on the video, did you shoot manual?
very helpful. thank you so much.
Not 'hating' just simply saying please try to stay clear
i cant help but to see alot of haters.. lolz! but your pritty good at teaching bro!.. keep it up! ahaha
Hi, I just want to know what is "partial metering" and "center weight average" in canon 1000d. I don't have spot and center weight. I'm just wondering if its the same. Thanks and regards!
I have a question, I mainly shoot landscape and they are sunrises and sunsets.. I still do not know which type of metering to use here?
Thank you. I'm gonna have to come back to this video a couple of times but it was really helpful! woop woop.
Thanks Great Video! What is the best metering for indoor events? (Spot) with flash indoors what ISO do you normally choose> (1000?) F Stop (4.5?) and shutter always more then focal length
Hi! thank you for this tips! 🙂
What if I use spot metering and I have to re-frame my shot once I focus on the eye of my subject, the camera will meter again. Is there a way to set the camera to keep the exposure settings once you focus?
By the way, nice videos
Thanks for all of your vidios…..
Great explanation. Thanks.
I'm learning so much!
I enjoyed the detailed video. Most just tell you what metering is but not how it is used for different situations. I would like to know though if you would recommend spot metering on a family portrait..the background would be a bokeh effect using Christmas lights obviously the family would be several feet away from the background. I'm wondering if spot metering would be too restricted of an area for a group of 3 or more people. So what metering do you think would be best?
Hello, if I am shooting in manual mode, do I even need to bother setting the light metering since I will be setting the exposure manually (here exposure I meant iso, aperture and shutter speed)?
Very well explained,it may sound weird but need to know why is it really necessary to use the light metering when the light exposure can be sorted on the software later??
thanx anyway
