When is your next tutorial? Will there be a Len's Filter tutorial? UV filter? ND filter? Circular Polarizer Filter? and what are they purpose?

[PhotographersOnUTube]

@7dustakpno1 I'm not sure when. Maybe in a week or two. Next video is Quick Shots - Princeton University. Not sure when I'll do the filter video. I don't use them anyway. Polarizing cuts glare, ND blocks light, UV protects lens. I don't do long exposure during day, I use post processing for polarizing and my hood protects the lens and I am extra careful on top of everything.

Good job on the explanation, you gave the "why" and then the examples showing "why". Overall, quality lesson. I cannot get with the idea however that spot metering is best for portraits as a general statement. The reason is because if you have a dark subject with a white suit on or with a white background, you'll have problems. Same thing if the opposite is the case (light subject/dark clothes). However, if the subject's face is 1/2-3/4 of the frame, your comment is true. My $.02.

@CarlislePhotography Thank you! You missed the part where I talked about over/under exposing the subject deliberately. I also talked about using matrix for portraits once you have enough shoots under your belt you'll know right away. Just shot a wedding using matrix metering. Will be shooting another wedding on 14th using spot based on client's skin tone. I already know the red in my RGB histogram is going to over expose by 2/3 stop. Eventually all this will be covered under wedding photography

Another great video. Your videos are so well thought out and have been in such a logical order. I have really learnt a lot from you. Thanks so much.

@iMacMan77 Appreciate that, iMac. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos.

I agree on there being no viable reason to use Center metering in most photos...but my instructor wants us to & now I don't know what subject to use! He was clear on Rule of 3rds, yet he still wants us to try all the metering options in an assignment.

Any insight on the right subject matter for "center"???
