Understanding Metering

Understanding Metering

Saturday 05 April
River Rd, Baton Rouge - 10am - 2 Hours
Baton Rouge Photography Group
Jason Woods
Metering is an incredibly important aspect of photography to grasp. You might have heard about the exposure triangle but I believe we should be talking about an exposure square with metering being the forth side as it is equally as important to getting the correct exposure as your aperture, ISO and shutter speed.
We will explore how and when to use each of the metering options and how to use it to get some creative lighting in your shots.

Mallory Stanford
Come and join us as we explore composition in photography.

Composition is one of the most critical element in photography. Composition is how a photographer arranges the visual elements within their image, frame. I promise you that if you search for information on composition you will find plenty You will find formal rules, opinion, some of which you can trace back to historical art movements and painters.

Even in the digital world, composition remains the key to creating strong images. Composition is what guides our eye through an image and gives importance to the subject. It creates the story for the viewer and how we as photographers convey that message.

This meetup will explore composition using our frame and tools available to us as the photographer.

REVIEWS
I enjoyed the class very much and Courtney was a great teacher. She was extremely helpful in explaining different techniques and the results we could achieve by using different brushes, the colors and the application of how much water we use. I feel I learned enough to want to keep taking more classes.

My daughter and I thought the event was great. The instruction was spot on. I watched allot of YouTube videos on watercolor before and am fairly proficient with my drawing skills but having feedback on watercolor techniques in person was helpful. I?m a little introverted so being in a group helped me get over people seeing me paint in public.

Title or Location: Hiking at Mundy Regional Park, WA
Hiking down from the top of the Lesmurdie falls at Mundy Regional Park to the bottom, I noticed a distinct change in the sound of the fall, transforming from a roar to a gentle tinkling. Upon reaching the bottom, I was amazed by the breathtaking view, where a brook zigzagged and bubbled its way between the trees and rocks. Before crossing the brook to ascend to the other side, I captured this image and stored it on my phone, knowing I would paint it. An year has passed by and I finally painted
