I have been taking pictures for a couple of years now and mostly use manual, Av or Tv and use the viewfinder meter to tell me when something is correctly exposed. I also understand things like centre exposure, spot exposure, average exposure etc in camera. Additionally I usually check what Lightroom thinks in the develop menu. This seems to produce pleasing results most of the time.
My question comes from recently starting to use a Tilt Shift lens to capture some of the modern architecture in Dubai (where I live) as I like to see the straightened buildings but of course once you tilt or shift the in camera metering is meaningless. So the questions is, should I be using a scientific way to measure exposure or is the naked eye on the LCD and or Lightroom to see whats pleasing enough.
Excuse me if this is asked anywhere else, but I could not see it.
