Send us a textHave you ever had a situation where a shot looks good, but when you check the photo, the exposure is off? Well, I’m sure we’ve often experienced it, and it’s one of those mistakes you only make once. Except… you don’t.I had a similar situation recently. Nothing went wrong… except I forgot one thing. This is how our cameras work.Getting the correct exposure is one of the most important aspects of photography. You have much greater latitude and creative potential in post with a correctly exposed photograph than you do with one that’s incorrectly exposed. In this podcast, I’ll walk you through a feature on your camera that you may not be aware of, or may have forgotten about.Please like and subscribe, and next Friday I’ll be talking about when light tricks you!It's time for another podcast...
