I did pick up the book Understanding Exposure as my son said he's interested in photography and I figured he can read and learn whatever's in it and we can go and shoot. He picked it up the first day and hasn't since so I'm reading it. I will agree that it is a good beginners book.
Here's my question - he mentions a few times how he points his camera to the sky (blue sky to be exact) and gets his correct exposure that way - why would he do that?
I understand why you want to meter on the sky if you're shooting into the sun but it doesn't make any sense to me if you're shooting a field of flowers unless the sky is the subject.
Can someone please explain this?
Thanks!
