Saturday was our photo walk for those taking our club Basic DSLR class. Its a small tour about 2 hours depending the size of the group to put into practice what they learned. One of things we teach is how to use the light meter in your camera and when do you need it. Usually average will underexpose the statue but center weight or spot will give it a good exposure. Where this succeeds is on a bright sunny day as I take them out in 10AM in the morning. As usual Erie PA weather had weather this Saturday. Hopefully EXIF is intact; processed with Iridient RAW and finished in Affinity Photo. The lens if I remembered to select it was a 28MM F/3.5 AIS Nikon film lens. Forgot to switch the non CPU 300 to 28mm and I think it was at that spot that I realized that! Grrr!

This works if the subject is one color. For example ,when I shoot birds,(my main subject) that has white and dark colors, I try to focus around the white part with spot metering as to not over expose that part. If I focus on the dark area it will sometimes blow the whites out.
Having said that , I try to focus on the eyes if that's possible but that is irrelevant in this case..

These were done 26Mar and 27 Mar 2017. The first one with using Flashpoint Zooms older ones mounted in Large OctoBox Godox and the other other in an umbrella. The model (Granddaughter) started to dance during the shoot so the Flash Points Zooms did not recharge fast enough even though both ½ power when GrandMa started play the music for her recital on the iPad. She started to look at that direction. The next day I had the wife air play it to the TV behind me at least she'll look at my camera. D500 with a 50mm D 1.8 lens. Processed with Iridient Developer RAW and finished in Affinity Photo. Since danced on the rug on Sunday so Monday went to Home Depot for a couple of 2x4 pieces of plywood she went to town. Even the Studio Strobes could not keep up.

Very low light, no tripod so fast shutter. 7200ISO. Cropped about 50% and noise processed in Lightroom. Far from perfect, but not bad for the conditions.

Tell you what ...

The D500 is quite good at this wedding malarkey too !!

Had a key light in the way of the Godix AD600BM with a beauty dish on the right and a bare flash set in the arch.
