Medium-format Cameras Exposure Tips For MEDIUM FORMAT Cameras?

Exposure tips for MEDIUM FORMAT cameras? - medium-format cameras

I bought a camera in medium format. I usually use Polaroid or digital only, and portraits in the sun, so I am not very familiar with the show. I do not want to lose, the film also tries to get the right light in different situations. Who knows how people dress, when? Since this is the best settings for night, sunset, Clock, Indoor Portraits, etc.? Examples of help and serious about this would be appreciated! Thank you!

You can still have the old "Sunny 16 Rule". He said: "On a sunny day, set the aperture to f16 and the shutter speed to 1/ISO.''So if you're on the road and the sunny and you are with film ISO 100 F16 @ 1 / 125 sec. Should we good exposure.

Would be your best option, in my opinion, he buy a handheld reader. I like the Minolta SpotMeta M - I got one. You can take two readings (light and dark) and the mean, and for a better balance between bright and dark areas of the scene.

In low light, night photography, the use of "Day and Night Guide Photo Sharp exposure. Http: / / www.fotosharp.com Here are some examples:

For portraits inside, which really is a set-up lighting. The issue of Shutterbug October is dedicated to the lighting and appliances. You can find a copy on a newsstand. http://www.shutterbug.com

One can speculate, and you always get very accurate results if you know what you're doing, but if you are not familiar with the measure of light, then you should get the measure of exposure. If the device is not built on a. What brand / model you own?

Here is a meter - you can http://www.adorama.com/GSDS.html is old for a lot cheaper, but some can be inaccurate over time. It's actually less expensive for a device for measuring the exposure. Although the range of shutter speeds is limited a bit.

Everything you need to do is get a light meter, low cost, which can be done for 35-50 dollars. The Sunny 16 Rule almost always works.
