Moving On with "Understanding Exposure"

[bayhli]

Has anyone else in our reading thread started Chapter 4? Xmas is right around the corner so I'm moving on...

Maybe one of the Moderators would kindly move us to the Photography Section now that we have one - please? (Reading members check the Photography Section if you discover that the threads are "missing" !)

I think I just started 4 (light???) but have not done the assignments up to now just trying to get caught up.
I'll pretend I did them my first time through the book.

Sounds good to me Gary, good job at catching up.

Yep, we're starting Chapter 4 - Light. My favourite !!

Keep up - I'm gonna need ya!

This is my second time through and I am enjoying it all over again.

I like the little hexagon shaped highlights.

My 2nd time too Gary.

I skipped a lot the first time I read it because I was new to even the basics so a lot of it was over my head. I'm enjoying this second read as well and find my understanding much better - so I've learned something in the meantime. Just not Chapter 4!

I'm with you - reading Chapter 4 for the 2nd time now. Hope some will sink in this time!

This is a heavier chapter and probably all we're going to get done before Xmas. What's left after this is more speciality topics anyway so it's a good split.

I'm finding it a little less muddlesome to break it into these areas of concentration:

Exploring the types of light - pages 94-113
Metering - pages 114-127
Low Light and Night Photography pages 128-135

I wouldn't mind bringing ISO into this as well (pages 154-55) as I'm sure it will crop up and it strikes me as a basic we haven't talked about. There's not much to it but to me it rounds out the exposure equation.

Shall we set our objective as completing the whole chapter before Xmas actually hits, each to their own level of satisfaction? (my vote)

Break the chapter up and continue with it in the New Year, cram and finish the whole book before Xmas - what's your pleasure!?

[JulieM]

Pat, that sounds good to me. Were you ever a teacher?

[bayhli]

Were you ever a teacher?

No-waaaah!

However, I may lean toward being just a "bit" methodical by nature.
Try being creative with that around your neck!

I went ahead and posted a thread for Chapter 4 for all the great information we're going to share...

Is it too late for me to join in? I've read the book before and would love to go over it again-I learn something new every time I open it!
Let me know-
Thanks-
