General Metering

General Metering - It is so important NOT to delete images that you think are under or over exposed when reviewing on your cameras LCD screen. The amount of times that I have saved a shot later on using Photoshop is incredible; some of them have even ended up being some of my favourite shots.

Also, the shot below was well underexposed at a wedding shoot due to the exhausted batteries in a speedlight giving up! I did get two shots either side of this one, but as luck would have it, this was the best.

Metering and Exposure

It all takes practice. Before I go into finer details about capturing an image, here is a quick run down of each metering mode that your camera may have.
