The same effects were also recorded for the next two photos (above) of the pillars. Both were shot with the EF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 II zoom lens set at the 28mm focal length. The first was shot using Center-weighted metering while the second with Partial. The Center-weighted photo is slightly underexposed but the Partial metering got it right for the second shot. Partial metering was also used for these two photos below of the KL Tower replica and the Petronas Twin Towers at night. The Twin Towers' photo was shot at the same angle as the one used for issue No: 30 with the EOS 88 camera. However, the brighter sky wasn't due to use of the Partial metering, I took the shot of the Towers at an earlier time, 7.15pm, compared to about 11pm for the one used in issue No: 30. Close-up shot of KL Tower replica with Partial meter Petronas Twin Towers, shot using Partial metering Structures shot using Center-weighted metering Reflections shot using Center-weighted metering Does this mean that users of the EOS 50 should stay away from using Center-weighted metering? Not necessary. Once you have mastered all the required fundamentals of photography, knowing which metering pattern that is best suited to your needs is no longer an issue. That said, Center-weighted metering could still be used even if you have not mastered all the fundamentals. In almost any photographic situation where the overall lighting illumination is average, the Center-weighted metering can be used to produce correct exposure readings as can be seen from the lower two photos from above. The photo of the structures was shot with Center-weighted metering, despite the strong backlit situation, I took a reading from the shadow area, applied it via the AE Lock button, recomposed and captured the scene. The same technique was also used for the photo of the reflections from windowpanes. << Back to Main . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 . 7 . 8 . 9 .
