Spot Metering Crash Course
Wanna get the most out of your spot meter? Did you know that most people think they're using it correctly but they really aren't? YIKES - could that be you???
In this video, we'll go over what spot metering is, where the camera spot meters in the viewfinder, how the spot meter thinks, where it works well and where it lets you down - and why. We'll also look at ways to outsmart the spot meter and get great exposures with it in ANY situation.
Just think - in less than 15 minutes, you'll know everything you need to spot meter like a pro!

That was the BEST spot metering tutorial I have ever seen. Outstanding!!
There is no greater educator in photography than Steve. Deep understanding with an ability to explain simply is a gift. Keep up the awesome work please Steve.
Between you and Chas Goatzer videos I have learned so much more than the attended workshops with " professional photographers". Thank you so much, the frustration just melts away as the " ah-ha" clicks in.
This has to be the easiest way to understand metering. Perfect video.
I really had to laugh, I just got back from an all-day shooting at a castle with lots of lights and darks. When I got home I was so upset that the pictures did not turn out the way I wanted. You just explained every scenario that I faced and what I had done wrong!!! YOU HAVE MY ATTENTION!!! And just to prove the commitment I bought all your ebooks and will get involved with your group. I am a Nikon shooter D5600 and been at it for about two years. Most things I have had good success with but this last go-round was a disaster! I shoot in Raw and JPEG so I did manage to fix some of it in post. I am much better in post than I am in photography. Thank you much for your videos and help, you are very well respected in the photographic industry. I need to get on your star and figure out all I can!!! Thank you, Steve Moonpie
Very clear explanation. Extremely pretty photos 🙋🏻♂️
The garden is the dojo for learning how my camera functions before i take it to the streets!
Love this channel it’s been helping me a lot since my mentor passed away a few years ago . He got me started in photography. Today I will try portraits since I usually do birds . Rip William P Bergen
Blinkies can help too of course. As per your video on that feature.
Finally i'm getting it Slowly but surely im getting it Thank you Thank you Thank you
Love your content Steve. KZread photography seems to be getting more and more click bait. Your channel is the exception. You've taught me a lot and I appreciate the hard work you put in. Thank you.

And also more and more about comparing equipment. I have unsubscribed from more than one "photography" channel as a result of all the gear obsessing.
Great video, thanks for all the info you post.
Thanks Steve - brilliant!
Something I rarely think about! But it’s great to get this refresher. Thanks Steve.
I'm so glad I found your videos. I'm about 6 months in with my first ever camera, and have learned very much from you already, Thank you!!!
Yes. Outstanding. Ive used it (with Zone Metering) for decades and always struggled to explain it simply. This totally nails it.
As usual, Steve clears things up! Perfect explanation and clear as always. Thanks for demystifying this!
Informative Video, Steve... Much Appreciated !!!
Great video. Thank you.

great video Steve
Thanks Steve. Your videos are my "go to" for concise, accurate, and entertaining information. I bought all of your ebooks which are awesome and filled with great content. Thank you for sharing your talents! p.s. - and yes I was one of the photographers that didn't give metering too much thought...sadly.
Absolutely love your explanation of finer aspects of spot metering, with great examples. Learnt a lot.
Excellent comprehensible explanation!
Wow Steve!! Man you never cease to amaze me with how you explain things. I have actually been experimenting with my metering modes over the last 2 weeks and was still unsure how it worked. Thanks so much for the clarification.
Best video on this topic. Now I get it. Thank you!
Well done!
Wow incredibly suggestions thanks 🙏
Awesome explanation... Thanks a ton for the video.

You never cease to amaze me. You make me so damn jealous with your pics. Keep up the great work.

Spot on ! Great explanation, clarified a lot of confusion, well done
Enjoyed your metering video and have always appreciated your book on the subject.
great help thank you!!
Steven this was just the best piece on metering. Also I think by you shooting multiple camera brands now you have opened up a whole new area of field tested comparison content which would be so helpful as well to those selecting gear. Much appreciated and thank you.
Well done! Thanks.
Very well explained Steve ! Thank you 🙏🏻👍😊
Very useful video, thanks a lot!

Great Video as always Steve, thank you. Perfectly explained and a great accompaniment to your e-book (which I also found super useful). Keep up the excellent work.
Now I understand what my problem was that my subjects were either over exposed or underexposed! Thanks

Steve, I just went through my d500 menu to play with the AE mode, but I could not find it! Is d500 including that option at all?
Very elaborate, thank you!
Fantastic! Thank you
Excellent video steve
Thank you, I made notes thoroughly.
That was the best explanation I have seen on this subject - thankyou!! :)
Great video!
Great instruction!
Always a pleasure to watch your so instructive videos Steve ! Likes and subs 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
No words to describe... Amazing videos 🙏
Good instruction. When I did film photography I used spot metering almost exclusively. I rarely use it with digital but your content was right on.
Thank you!!! 👍 Learned something today also ☺️
Brilliant Steve , every video of your is an educational content. Full of information.Totally absorbing and with clarity I come out with every video. Thank you again.👍
Well explained. Excellent tutorial. Thank you 🙏🏼
This was a great education on tricking the meter. you are correct Steve, many people depend on the camera and know nothing about tricking or overriding the meter. Thanks for your time and work. Best teacher out there.
Excellent, succinct and comprehensive.
Thanks Steve, great explanation of metering using the mid tone examples👌
This was a very very good video. There was no other video on youtube that could explain it so well
Excellent piece of teaching Steeve! The video explains the content right to the points without making too much unwanted lecturers as often seen in other you tube videos. Thank you so very much for the wonderful presentation...
You are awesome! Such depth of knowledge and so talented at explaining it in simple, relatable terms. Thank you!
Exceptionally clear and sensible advice - your experience shows in every suggestion
Very clear explanation. Even I understood it straight away. Awesome.
Great instruction
Best explanation ever!
Very informative and well explained. Thank you.
This video opened my eyes on how important it is to spot meter before you take a shot. It helps achive best colors and contrast correctly. I think this is one of the main reasons my images were always off and I wasnt happy with colors and contrast. Grey card or an expodisc is a must have to get perfect exposure and colors.
Wonderful tutorial.
Thanks for the info on spot metering. Now I know how it works.
Again Steve, thank you for explaining in such details. So easy to follow you. I understand far more now and itching to try this. I will practise for sure.
well presented, great pace of presentation. Excellent video.
Was watching another camera topic and this popped up... I said hmmm always wondered about spot metering... wow now I know! Thanks - great lesson!
Great tutorial
Nice simple explanation and examples. Well done.
Brilliant!
Really well explained. Thanks Steve. Will be downloading your spot metering ebook later. Mark🇬🇧
