Understanding Metering

Understanding Metering

Sunday 26 January
N 6th St, Harrisburg - 10am - 2 Hours
Harrisburg Photography Group
Robert Bonsall
Metering is an incredibly important aspect of photography to grasp. You might have heard about the exposure triangle but I believe we should be talking about an exposure square with metering being the forth side as it is equally as important to getting the correct exposure as your aperture, ISO and shutter speed.
We will explore how and when to use each of the metering options and how to use it to get some creative lighting in your shots.

Backlighting, Bokeh and Bursts

Backlighting, Bokeh and Bursts

Sunday 23 February
N Fort Street - 1pm - 2 Hours
Harrisburg Photography Group
Robert Bonsall
We will be using various techniques to maximise the behaviour of the light. Backlighting is one of my favourites and can be used for portraiture or nature. Bokeh is Japanese for blur but is a term used for soft out of focus balls of light which can look very pleasing. Burst in this case is star burst which can be achieved when you have strong areas of light and a correct choice of aperture. Use all three to create some amazing compositions.

When teaching my 5th grade class watercolors for their landscape project, I always do one with them. As we go along, I point out places where I have used a certain technique or how I resolved a problem I incurred along the way. This come from a photograph in the Our State magazine but I cannot find the photographer's name at the moment.

1st. Watercolor...This piece was done from a photo reference of a home my wife liked. A dream of ours to live near the coast. As watercolor isn't my usual medium, this was my first attempt at a complete work. I seem to bring more illustration techniques to this medium. I am trying to paint more loosely and learn more light techniques. My main interest in joining watercolor groups is for inspiration, viewing others works, styles and to learn more. I am flattered that Denver Watercolor Group has

Title or Location: Woodland pool
This work was created using a ? spontaneous watercolour? technique. The first layer of colour was applied randomly wet on wet. The paint created the framework for the scene, which I enhanced with detailing. I love the way watercolours can paint themselves, almost as if the scene was just waiting to be revealed and I just uncovered it.

Teaching watercolor landscapes to my 5th grade students, I, also, do one with the classes.
