Winner: Camera Settings Challenge #20 In camera meter

February 6th, 2013
Congratulations to Kathryn @aponi for her "my metering experiment" and photo, which turned out to be the Winner of the in camera meter challenge!




Well done to everyone that had a go at what is a very challenging challenge. I hope that it helped everyone that entered and everyone that read along.

Meter reading is a very important part of your photography and if you can understand and control it, it will only help in your photographic journey.

@aponi Way to go! Really great effort.
@agima Thanks for setting up a really great challenge. Loved the challenge.

@aponi Congratulations! Shows great use of the meter setting.

@agima Thanks a million for hosting this for me. You picked a great topic, one I'd never have thought of and actually had no idea about it myself. Learning all round :)

@aponi Congratulations!

@agima Although I didn't enter, thanks to you, I have been conciously looking at my metering. A wonderful idea for a challenge :)

Congrats @aponi ! And thanks Brendan for this challenge!

@myhrhelper - I've been trying to find the list of challenges but wasn't able to... Wondering if we've done one on the difft types of autofocus settings? My camera has one shot, servo and something else - i forget what - which I am trying to figure out... Might be worth adding to the list if never been done before?

@apon Many Congratulations!!! ♥

@agima Although I did not manage to take part in the camera challenge this time around... I will certainly be having a practice with the metering... ♥
Think it was a brilliant subject to pick for the challenge and thank you so very much ♥

oh wow fantastic
thanks everyone

These challenges are great. I rarely even bother with auto focus anymore after the manual settings one. Now I have to figure out what to do here.

This is the link - to all the Camera Settings that we have had so far. I don't think we have done one on the different auto focus settings. We had the manual focus only so far. I agree - I wondered what the advantage is on some of those settings myself.

@aponi Congratulations!!! What a fantastic entry with so many different examples! It is your turn to either find an experienced photographer you admire to host the next challenge or do it yourself if you have a setting you would like to teach!

@agima I want to thank you again for teaching this to us. I am going to continue to practice and learn how to effectively use metering!

@myhrhelper thanks

I stuck a note on one of Jeff Walker's ( @jsw0109 ) pictures asking if he would host the next round. The auto focus setting one is a good idea. I was thinking white balance but it's arleady out there. Actually now that I see where the older ones are hidden, there are a lot of good ones out there I should work through just for my own education.

what about black & white?

@jsw0109 @myhrhelper

Jeff has agreed to host it - hooray. So the B&W thing is ok? There seems to be a lot of interest in that type of photography and also some really bad B&W out there, a fair amount of it in my own camera.

I'll get something up sometime tonight. at work now, so I can't really do much aside from sneaking on quickly here and there ;)
February 7th, 2013
@jsw0109 @aponi YEAH!!! What ever ideas you have Jeff would be wonderful!!! Thank you so much!
February 7th, 2013
@aponi @myhrhelper I don't have it ready... I'm trying to work out a few details so that its not a repeat of the in camera picture settings challenge. I'll get the new one up tomorrow

congratulations

I don't know what about challenge #20 I didn't understand but when I saw that list of past challenges I was really impressed. I've started at the beginning with the aperture setting and working my way forward. Basically everything I thought of was already there.

@aponi congratulations! lovely set of shots :)

@foxsparrow @willowdragon thanks, I feel like in the past month I've learned more about my camera than I had in the previous 6 months of trying to read the manual. These challenges are fantastic.
