Exposure metering techniques<\/h1>\n

Camera technique can be distilled into a few elements:
\n– composition & framing, including lens choice
\n– timing of the photograph, ie that moment
\n– choice of aperture (for depth of field)
\n– choice of shutter speed (for subject movement)
\n– exposure metering, (which obviously ties in with aperture & shutter speed)<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it! There\u2019s not much more we can do with our cameras at the time of exposure. Ultimately so much of what we do depends on how we juggle those three settings – shutter speed, aperture and ISO.<\/p>\n

The balance between those three camera settings is determined by how we meter for correct exposure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
