It's not underexposed, it's "metered for the highlights".

If you didn't overexpose you're Portra by 32 stops is it even worth developing??

This is high quality teaching right here. I learned more about metering in the last 11 minutes than in 10 years of shooting digital.

The content is strong in this one

Literally today, I was trying to make sense of light metering (and how to apply it, and what the results look like) and I COULD NOT find an article or video that explained it in a way I could understand. And I thought to myself... I really wish Jason would make a video explaining light metering... and then suddenly, a notification appears, as if the film gods heard my prayers... Awesome video, thank you so much. You have no idea how much this helped me.

This is the best well rounded video on metering so far, thank youuu

i have been trying to understand this for hours, and you simply explained it in 10 mins, thank you

A very clear and informative demonstration, one of the best explanations I have come across.

Wow, this is the best explanation of Reciprocity Failure ive ever heard or seen. Idk if it just me but i feel like i could never find a good explanation on how it works. Super helpful

Reciprocity is the interchange of shutter speed and aperture. ... Reciprocity failure happens when this relationship breaks down. This commonly occurs with long exposures color films suffer from reciprocity failure when exposed for longer than a few seconds

Thank you! This has helped me understand metering so much better. I have many missed images and I've always wondered what I should do in order to get a better result. I'll give all of these tips a try.

ik you probably won’t see this but thank you for these videos. they have so much value and there are so manny videos you make which help me and hundreds of thousands of people like me learn about photography in such unique ways. it is impossible to find this kind of information constructed in such a fun artistic and funny way for people to learn. thanks

nobody has explained this better than you... and i've been watching youtube videos on this trying to learn. if you could possibly do more examples the way you explained with the aperture and shutter speed explanations/ comparisons, that would be AMAZING. But for now, this has been the best! Thanks a million

clearest and simplest explanation of the zone system and reciprocity..you made it seem so simple and logical. best metering video , thanks a lot

I was searching for this the other day. You and Willem needed a video on this

This video is amazing for understanding metering. I’m going to try my best to share this info(and video) w all my photo friends

Love that swimming pool shot. This was a big help, thank you.

One of the best useful videos that I watched from beginning till the end. Thank you for this it helps a lot 😊

I love you and your videos man, super informative and easy to understand. BIG FAN!

Literally so happy you explained stops

this is my first time seeing a video of yours and you're so funny! love your personality

Hi, what a wonderful video. Keep up the amazing work! I look forward to your next video.

so cool, this zeppelin started from a small sportsairport near our home when i was a child!

"Fuck digital camera" (Records with a digital camera)

Enjoyable video, informative and clear.

Use the friggin' zone system if you've got a spot meter. It's easy. Measure the part of the subject you are most interested in. Decide how many zones away from mid-gray you want to place that part of the subject. Adust exposure by that many stops.

Been reading about metering at night these past few days and this definitely was the nail in the coffin!

This video is badass dude. I know it’s an older video but I just found it today. Thanks. I love film.

That metering for the sunset shot ufffff

Very informative and humorous references I learn something thank you. For sharing this information.

Humour, design, education. You got all these covered in your videos. I applaude, don't stop, ly, bye

Watch out you need to check the shutter and check the foam you might get bad light leaks and the shutters are starting to fall apart now and chances are your camera wont work right. My mamiya just went bunk.

pulled out my nikon FA that i used in the 80s because of you. fortunately it was like riding a bike after 30 years of inactivity although a few knee scrapes here and there. fun times.

That Mamiya 7 is a beauty!

Trying to learn something here. Keep having to rewind because of funny. Worth it.

Love the comedy and the content...great work.👏🗣

I didn't know how much I needed this😂 Although probably not early in the morning, I might have to rewatch a few times to digest. Reciprocity failure just messes me up.

bro, this the best metering video

My brain doesn’t think in histograms so that was an interesting depiction to see. Thank you for making reciprocity failure easy to understand.

Fantastic video, thanks for sharing.

I like using the measure once and then best guess for the rest of the session method. hasn't let me down yet.

Gold of the week,holy Sheep .Thanks i learned a lot! Hope to see a video with Willieam

I was shooting Mamiya 6X7 in the late 90s. Old school meter. Phones are amazing.

ive been waiting for a video FOR SO LONG

Excellent video discount Ryan Gosling. You're super chill and dryer than cider.

I thought you were a sort of pretentious KZread film photo guy but the more I watched you the more I liked you haha. I really laughed out loud several times you’re pretty entertaining. I’m having issues with my light meter that I’ve been using for 5+ years not changing the iso all of a sudden and I’ve been looking for someone who can help me figure out why. You didn’t answer any of my questions but i enjoyed this video and am going to subscribe.

Hahaha. “Ba-ha blasting out.” Niiice!

@grainydays For the part where you discuss sunsets, you switch from adding your exposure compensation by adjusting the meter iso (overexpose by 1.5 stops, set iso 400 ->160 etc) to saying the number of stops to overexpose by in addition to setting your meter to half a stop brighter. Any reason to mix the two approaches?

Top of the class.

While many try to be fun and it just doesn't work,you my man got my attention immediately with those dark jokes ! :D worth the subscribe!

the funniest creator i ever seen!

Brilliant

Glad to see others are using that app! I usually take a reading in the highlights, in the shadows, and select the exposure in the middle. So far so good, although I feel like you'll be judging me for it.... ;)

Killed it.

Agreed, the dog has Charisma!

Thank you for this. I'm just using external meters for the 1st time. You won't believe my silly collection. So far the same godsend and an ttartesan mounted for old cameras w no working meters.

I use my digital to measure it, put in manual and see what the camera has to say, the trick is to always go 1 or half a stop over what the camera says since digital sensors work better underexposing and film works better over exposing.

Your humor got you a subscriber

if this video reaches 15k views by next, half of it might be me watching. i’ve been looking for a video like this since i started film last year and this one is by far my favorite and find very helpful.
