Under the Hood of Your Camera with Roger Mattingly

The theme of Under the Hood of Your Camera was learning to be the boss of your camera. It was developed for photographers who already know how to take a picture but aren’t happy with the results, who are not quite sure about nailing exposure or how to use the options in camera set up to give the best results.

Some of the topics that were covered included:

• How to determine correct exposure
• Using the histogram for correct exposure
• Using the exposure triangle to advantage
• When to change the ISO and why
• Role of exposure compensation and setting it on your camera 
• Color balance beyond Automatic White Balance, why should you care?
• The definition of color temperature
• How to set correct color temperature
• Depth of field, Filters, and Sharpening
• Demo of basic corrections in Lightroom if you did not get it right
