Now, instead of metering the subject, I moved my center mark to the blue sky. I use manual at this point. I am keeping the shutter speed at 1/200. I changed the aperture until I move my metering bar to 0. As you can see the sky is now blue... but the subject is really dark.What does this mean? What is metering? I like you sample pictures, as I can see what you are trying to explain as the differences. I'm just totally lost on the vocab, lol. I know, I have lots to learn, but this what you are trying to teach is something I need help with. I do have a Nikon though.
When you point your camera and you press half way, the camera will tell you how far you are from "perfect" exposure. Do you see the little tick marks when you look through the camera or screen? You are trying to put the bar in the middle.
