Hello everyone
Another photography tutorial about exposure including some explanation about exposure metering modes and histogram.
Need your help (critique/opinion/suggestion) for creating better content.

I use cameras often, but as an amateur. This video has enlightened me on levels of exposure. I snapped some pictures this weekend but I used the same setting for both pictures taken at night and those taken under bright sunlight, thinking that the flash would make the difference in the exposure. The ones snapped under sunlight but without flash still turned out to be too bright. It was so painful because I got to know late.
These are some useful tips on exposure. You summarized some topics for which I had to watch several videos when I was trying to understand photography. Lightroom is my favorite tool. It's so easy to check the photos and adjust them if needed. Thank you for sharing your video!
Now i'm gaining a self-confidence, thanks!
I used lightroom few times, but i found it easier for me to use the camera raw instead (opening from adobe bridge), though i still have lightroom installed. Their similar in many ways. Though i still think lightroom must be better, cause most photographers use it but still prefer to use camera raw. :)
Thanks man. Lovely Tips.
So I have a question for you.
When shooting a bird against a bright light , I happen to get too bright images even at highest shutter speeds. And I can't get clarity or retain it in PP of that small bird. What would you suggest?
Sorry for the delayed answer.
I didn't fully understand the conditions, were you using manual mode? Then just use the highest shutter speed and if it's still too bright, lower the ISO. Usually in this situation it's better to adjust the settings based on a still subject with the same lighting (for example a lamp post in the street which have same background and lighting as the bird in the sky) so you won't lose many chances while adjusting ISO, shutter speed and aperture.

After this video, I will create better pictures.
Thanks for the feedback!
glad that it helped you

Yep I use manual most of the time. Loved the lamp post example. Thanks.
