Determlnlng
reflected lighl
Bcckllghtlng
In the case of
backlighting, move
close to the subject
and measure
the light ref lected from
it. Be
particularly careful
that the back-
light does not
strike the light-
receiving surface of the exposure
meter. Otherwise
the result
will
be a silhouette.
Photogrophing
People
When photographing a person, the
light
reflected
by the subject
and the
light reflected
by the
background may
be at wide
variance, particularly
in snow, at
the beach or in other bright back-
grounds.
In such cases move the
camera
close to the subject and
measure
the ref lected
light. If
you cannot
approach the subject,
light can be measured by extending
the palm of your hand in front
of the meter.
Londscope Photogrophlng
For
landscape photographing, the
subject,
of course cannot
be
approched and exposure must be
measured at the
camera position.
Special care shoulcl be taken so
that direct
light from the sky is
not measured. Measure the general
lighting conditions of the area and
take the average reading.
