This past week we learned the finer details of using light meters and histograms, and also spent a lot of time learning about the Zone System. We were given the assignment of (1) taking pictures of a white object, using our light meter and histogram to expose them in the five different zones, and (2) practice using the Zone System to expose our photos by taking a minimum of 40 frames, preferably in different light settings and with different subjects. All of the pictures in this post except the one directly below were taken using this technique.
This picture was an accident - I just pointed the camera and pressed the shutter button. If you enlarge it, you can see the little sunbursts in the water droplets.
A cool shelf fungus.
I was trying to capture the beauty in the patterns on this birch log. I think it's better in real life, but it's still a cool shot.
A branch on one of our Dogwood trees.
I was sitting at the computer, and just happened to glance up as a sunbeam was coming through the window and hitting these egg shells. (This was one of the pictures I submitted for my homework)
