First, Natalie, THANKS. This is a truly great post. Thanks a LOT! very kind of you to take the time to do it.

Second, Mike, make your own post instead of bothering other’s work if you have something useful to say, or contribute to this thread in a polite and constructive way. Yes, you may have said a couple of useful things, but being mixed with your lack of education makes me not wanting to pay attention. Now, two things Mike:

a) We all have brains to spot typos Mike.

b) Nobody says you need to do this every time you take a pic, we all understand this, except you, so I will explain to you what this post means, so you pay attention: it is a TECHNICAL EXERCISE to develop understanding. get it? it is like playing soccer. you wanna play, right? well, you do a lot of technical exercises to develop the skills you need. then you go out to the field and play. think about this Mike. Maybe you can understand it.

Cheers.

This is what I call “basic page 14 stuff” and was and still is taught in any photography course, regardless of what type media the light is recorded upon. Thanks for the reminder, I use it in almost every shot either subconsciously as a check, or to handle any malfunction of cameras of light meter, and they do!

Thanks again, Rankin

This is very interesting, Nalalie. Am I right in assuming that on a bright sunny day at f16 the shutter speed is approximately the same as the ISO? From there, if you open up the aperture to, say, f8 you must increase the shutter speed correspondingly.

Natalie, I’m a new photography student at Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California. Your BDE information was most helpful. I know the concept is simple, but wrapping my mind around it is like when I learned about logarithms in math. It’s eminently simple, but sometimes something is SO simple it almost hard to grasp that it’s so simple. Anyway, thanks!

That was a very concise and enligthening info on equivalent exposures. i have been teaching basic photography and so far this is the best write-up i’ve read on equivalent exposures. thank a lot.

I’d just like to add my comments and thanks here. I’ve read all four of your articles today and they’ve been fantastic. Well done and thank you.

I’d like also to echo Mike’s comment (Jan 1st 2009). The typo threw me for a while and I lost focus (pardon the pun) on the rest of the article. It would be great if you could fix it.

Many thanks again.

Thank you SO much for all of your helpful tips. I’m shooting my friend’s wedding in a few weeks, and all of this makes so much sense! Thank you! This was exactly what I needed.
