Understanding Metering
Sunday 15 June
Silbury Blvd - 1pm - 2 Hours
Loredana Sabau
Metering is an incredibly important aspect of photography to grasp. You might have heard about the exposure triangle but I believe we should be talking about an exposure square with metering being the forth side as it is equally as important to getting the correct exposure as your aperture, ISO and shutter speed.
We will explore how and when to use each of the metering options and how to use it to get some creative lighting in your shots.
Architecture Photography
Sunday 22 June
Cathedral, Sumpter Yard, St Albans - 10am - 2 Hours
