Knowing your camera.
These pictures where taken with spot-metering.
Why?
Our digital camera's record pictures as transparencies. Not as negative film.
Foto one: Correct exposure for transparencies. On the high-light's.
Foto two: exposed for black and white. Metered on the shadows.
Foto three: using the exposure between both readings.
This is a Raw-shoot without alterations.
Shot with the Nikon D 90.
