Exposure Exposure Exposure Exposure…. ah why is this element so hard to wrap my head around ? actually it’s not hard… in fact it’s quite systematic in its breakdown.

Step one : TURN ON THE CAMERA

Step two: set up the view finder

Step 3: Check the colour bars

Step 4: Check contrast and brightness setting

step 5: make sure you know what percentage of luminance the zebra patterns are exhibiting.

Robin : “Lighting and exposure are Indivisible.” This really sticks out to me because I often foolishly forget they are so directly linked.

Epiphany: Always use the viewfinder when establishing the lighting scheme. When standing further away from the camera your eye is heavily influenced by extraneous lighting variables which influence the accuracy of the actual colour scheme of the camera.
