Thank you! Such a concise, clear explanation. Too much noise on the internet, this was so simple 🙏🏼

I found this video the best for explaining metering and its uses..Ive watched a fair few videos on this subject but this was simple, direct and very easy to follow...Thank you ,,Thats a great video

Perfect. Thank you. Easy to understand and the reasons why to use a light meter. Too much waffle in other videos

i could literally listen to you ALL DAY LONG. best voice and accent ever.

Nice explanation. So many light meter how to videos fail to mention that the choice of aperture and shutter speed is determined by the photographer.

This is so straight forward and helpful!

Simple, no bull, no loud music, no shuffle dancing, just to the point.

incredibly helpful, very informative, cool vest 10/10

Very good explanation!

U killed this

Excellent!

What were you saying about using it for multiple lights?

Thanks for this

Is this as relevant with a mirrorless system and an evf? For flashes I can understand potentially. But dealing with a consistent light source and using an evf you can see your exposure before taking anyway. Allowing you to correct accordingly (correct me if I'm wrong)

Same thing as dslr, your view in the evf is a reading of the light bouncing off the subjects, as explained, using the meter you are reading the light hitting the subject not the light coming off them. That way you plug in the f stop you get from the meter and your camera now will be taking the photo at your setting and not what it sees/is programmed as the right setting. That dress should look white and his suit the right shade of black because usually your camera meters for those values it sees reflected back, but the meter will let you expose more correctly.

Great video and helpful! But my American-ness can not process the way this man looks vs his super posh voice. But still, over all amazing.

Yep I speak like that but not keen on the look at all…😮

Does this work for video as well?

Hello what is the model of the light meter you’re using?

The underexposed video males you wonder if he was exposing for the sky or . . . . .

Hi, Great video. One question. Is the light meter and flash meter two separate things? Thanks & Regards, Chetan Mehta

no - usually a modern exposure-meter can do both. only the very simple/or basic lightmeters only do ambient light. check the manual

Great voice for the narrative. You could be a voice artist. Superb!

2:33 did you use the camera's spot meter?

I'm not sure but maybe you are misunderstanding something.Old days,film cameras only have single TTL sensor which was able to read the average of light value went through the lens into the film,so basically old film camera TTL meters are similar to matrix metering.So back then old photographers were using handheld meters for meansuring the reflection specifically from subject/model.But nowaday you can use spot metering instead to solve the problem.

If you spot meter the white dress you'll get one reading and then another for the tux. So, which is right? If you understand exposure placement as described in Ansel Adams '"Zone System", you'll be fine with a spot meter, but if not, an incident meter will meter the light falling on the subject instead of bouncing off of it thereby giving a more accurate exposure.

Why is Henry Cavill narrating?

Just keep shooting with manual. You will eventually know the appropriate setting for the shot.

Damn

Getcha bleedin' 'air cut...

Took me 5 times to figure out what you were saying at the beginning "all modern dslr's have a built-in metre", due to your accent and speed of speech. Finally, I had to use KZread to slow it down to 0.75 speed to get it. However, the rest of the time your speaking was clear and un-inflected at normal video speed. Overall, it was an excellent video. Just thought you should know.
