Intro to Light Measurement

Do your slides or photographs ever lose the feel of thesubject? Learn the skill to capture what your eye sees rather than what the camera's eye wants you to see! No math... Counting on your fingers and multiplying and dividing a number by 2 is all that is required. Explore techniques of seeing and measuring light; using on-camera incident and reflective meters ; exposure by substitution; using the “Sunny-16“ method. Learn a simplified five-step zone/value system for pre-visualization of your image. You will have personalized attention from the instructor, so that you  may reach the goals that you set out for yourself in this course.

Please bring camera to first class.
