How to Use Your In-Camera Spot Meter (3)
on
Beyond Megapixels (4) permalink
We’ve mentioned in previous posts how in-camera metering can be very unreliable. It can meter the scene differently even if the subject and lighting do not change. In the series of photos below, I left the camera at evaluative mode and took three shots at different focal lengths. I shot in AV mode with the ISO at 400 at f/5.1/6, f/5 at 30mm1/8, f/5 at 70mm1/6, f/5 at 105mmYou can see that the camera’s meter ...- phillprice said: Great article - as I use primes I tend to meter from a big area of something in the same light as I can't zooom in and out, and tend to use AEB just in case so I can spend the time shooting rather than thinking.

Track and Field athletes will probably roll their eyes at me for this one, but still I have to say I was amazed to see this little four-wheeled RC car scurrying across the field last night during the men's 5,000 meter race carrying javelins, and dammit, I wanted to write about it. After a little digging, I discovered a photographer who had documented the little cars (there are two at the Beijing games), and how ...Shared by Augmented Web (34) beggs (1) Ching (21) Chris (34) crazyjaf (44) Damon (34) Dano (1) David (35) Gschultz (30) JonMoss-theappleofmyi (30) Kagnar (2) Michael H (5) peterch (1) rOckY (171) Serginho (17) stormin (3) Tim (2) tliles (7)Contribute comment -

Manage Webapp Upload Addresses with Gmail Filters [Email Filters] (39)

How To Tether Your iPhone With NetShare [IPhone Apps] (12)

iPhone Apps We Like: Here I Am Location Sender (13)

If the recipient opens the resulting URL on their iPhone, it'll pop open the GMaps app and show exactly where you are, which can then be used as an endpoint for driving directions. We just tested it ourselves and got to within 24m accuracy, which is pretty darn good for sitting on a couch ...
