Metering- Sunny Day

[Peter Ryan]

Hi Eon, just to be a contrary old b----r, I shoot nearly allmy shots in aperture priority and use matrix metering. I find it easier toevaluate the light in the whole scene rather than one single spot area. Like anythingonce you get used to it is easy to read a scene. I do shoot a lot of wildlifeand I find it difficult to spot meter off a bird in flight but I know the skyis around +1.25 EV and I set up and shoot for that.
Find a method you are comfortable with and shoot that. Knowingyour camera and its functions is critical. It must become second nature. Youneed have these down pat so they are second nature. That way you canconcentrate on the light and composition.

Remember the 'Sunny f16 Rule' - ? “On a bright, sunny day, the correct exposure for any subject is f/16 at the shutter speed nearest to the reciprocal of the film speed (ISO).”
