Hey guys,
So I bought a Canon A1 the other day with a 50mm lense and shot my first few rolls of film at a party and in the city at night. What I find strange my light meter and the exposures that its giving me. So I shot at ISO400 at the party which was indoors with decent lighting, and it asked me to shoot at shutter speeds slower that 1/30! Not to mention it pushed my lense to its higher aperture (f/1.8). Even in my room at night, WITH a lightbulb fully illuminating the whole room, my Camera was still a asking for 1/20 shutter speeds. Anyway, so I'm a noob and didn't know my photos would expose like they did in photo 1. BUT... When I took it into the city and my uni, the light meter seemed to work spot on. It gave me perfect exposures even at night (as shown in picture 2) where the lighting was even worse than the party! Pretty sure my camera wanted me to use a shutter speed below 1/30 also for Photo 2, although, don't quote me on it. Maybe my light meter only works correctly in well lit areas and I got really lucky and held my camera super still for photo 2. But I'm still not sure. What do y'all think? Is it me or the light meter?
