Originally posted by mee Does anyone here know and is willing to share his basic technique for exposing? In the video it mentions he explained in depth that part outdoors but it wasn't captured on video... and sadly I think that part would be the most important in getting similar shots like he shows.
Expose for the highlights, not the shadows? Isn't that what the guy says? Not sure what you are after. Then again, I am not an expert either
But here is what I do... it may not be right... but I do it. I have my camera set on the center metering mode. I then put that spot over the brightest portion of the frame and set the ISO, aperture, and shutter speed combo to the desired levels. I then re-frame and shoot. Of course this is all done in manual mode.
