Under the Hood Redux with Roger Mattingly

Relying on your camera for basic functions without understanding how it works can result in major disappointments. Learning to be the boss of your camera means you need to learn when to step in and tell it what to do.

Some topics that were covered:

  • 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
  • Demo of basic corrections in Lightroom if you did not get it right
  • Depth of field, Filters, and Sharpening (time permitting)
