Exercise 3: Zone System

Exercise 3a: High, Med and Low Zones

Lecture

For black and white photo, more zone show the picture better, and when we take the picture the camera always show the shutter speed a good time for take a clear picture but it maybe not the true speed , because the color will change. After this class i know how to take the real color picture and there are nine zones for a photo.

Instructions

Exercise 3: Zone System
Exercise 3a: High, Med and Low Zones
Having learned that the camera light meter is dumb, because it gives you an average or optimized (middle grey; zone 5) exposure irrespective of the subject matter, execute the plan below to prove the theory and record you thoughts on the matter in your eportfolio.
...

Exercise 3a: High, Med and Low Zones

1. Identify and capture three different subject/scenes comprising of High, Medium and Low Zones.

2. Take two images for each subject/scene; one exposure according to the camera's light meter; and the other according to the zone you believe the scene falls within.

3. Ensure that the subjects/scenes you choose for each zone area (High, Medium and Low) have a good range of tones within that zonal area.

All pictures must be in black and white. Use only sun light (direct or indirect) as source.

Feedback

Reflection

Experience - when we take picture flow the shutter speed which the camera gives us, the picture will become clear but the color will change, if we want to find the real color we have to use zone

Observation - Find the right zone seem simple but hard, because sometime I change the shutter speed but the picture didn't show the right color

Findings - when we watch picture we need to find out what is real, sometime you cannot find the right color in a photo
