EXPOSURE CONTROL AND LIGHT METERING

The whole point is making your camera do what you want. A couple of pickles here, cameras can’t do everything you want and you need to now how to make them work for you. So, what you’re exposing for and how to measure it is the base skill, Doesn’t matter what you do, if you get this right, you get everything else in line.

aperture, speed and iso

You’ve heard of the exposure triangle? Yeah, not a good starting point for learning. I’ll tell you why when you join. But it’s the main way to control some of the aesthetic outcomes, so we’ll leave it here. Get your speed for action, your aperture for selective focus and your ISO to fix low light or push the other two.

COMPOSITION AND INTENTION

Composition is your main communication tool. The basic question is “What is this image about”. If you know how to frame, what to include and exclude. We’ll go over some amazing classics photographs and review your own images, before working on framing strategies, focus lock, recomposition and outputs.

You need you own camera. We can work with phones, but this course is for camera users. You need to join 2 sessions in person and doing a little homework in between. A portfolio is nice, but not mandatory.
