For the next four photos below, the correct usage of the right exposure methods ensured the results seen here. A Partial meter reading was taken from the highlight located at the center of the picture area, below the Christmas bells, resulting in an underexposed shot. The next photo of the same scene, was shot with the meter reading taken from the bells and the result is much better than the first one. The next two photos of the window displaying the mannequins are even more interesting because I had made a mistake in the first one (left), having captured the scene via Evaluative metering without any precaution taken. For the second photo, instead of switching to Partial metering and AE Lock, using the exposure compensation button of the EOS 88 was faster. A 1 stop of exposure compensation ensured a correct exposure of the displays, never mind about the person sitting outside the window area since she was already in the shadows.
For the last two photos from above,
the overall scene of The Coffee Bean cafe was simply shot (Point, AF and shoot) using
Intelligent Programmed AE with the EF 50mm f/1.4 USM while the U2 brand's window
display was shot with the EF 35-80mm zoom lens set at its 35mm focal length. Was
I getting lazy? Not really. After all, the camera used was the EOS 88 and I am demonstrating
just how easy it was to make full use of the situation with this camera. And don't
forget, the majority of the EOS 88 owners probably do not know how to manipulate
the exposure settings to ensure excellent pictures from their photo sessions. |
