Dave - "-2..1..0..1..+2" - would be your light meter or exposure. By setting it one notch to the left of the 0 you are underexposing your photo by 1/3 of a stop.

jk so i tried my best buy taking pics of lights at night is hard...christmas lights/ neon signs...do i focus on the light and adjust my light meter for that or wtf all my shots the signs or lights r over exposed....

I wish her head wasn't partially cut off but I kind of like this picture.



My uncle invited me to his food testing night to try out new items that would possibly be added to his menu. Here's one of them.

 

So does that mean I control how bright or how dark I want the pic? And if I make it underexposed more should I turn the ISO up too?

This is gonna take a while. I might wanna take a class haha

 

hey dave, check this youtube channel out.

if your going to mess with you light meter/exposure make sure to look at your histogram to see the areas that overexposed or underexposed.

over the past couple days

 

that tree one is sick!
lol i tried something similar but my results were not as good.

 

you should have seen my setup. i had my tripod balance on the foot rest for the couch. it was the only way to get over the stairs and get the tree in the background

 

lol what settings did u use? i shot wide open at 1.8 so my background didnt look like a tree anymore

 

Just got a cannon Rebel EOS T1i for X-mas, any suggestions/tips? Got a Camera bag on the way, looking at UV filters, a lens hood for now.

 

READ UR MANUAL! also worry more with getting a circular polarizer. Only thing a UV filter is good for is protecting ur lens.

 

And if it's not a high quality UV filter, it can degrade your image quality.

 

What are some quality filter choices?

 

x2....I've been reading reviews online about the Hoya Circular Polarize filters and everyone has said that its a bang for the buck type of ordeal.

 

just had to clean off about 400-500 cars with 15 other people all day, at the end i took some pics of our work
