Can you let me know if I have this right or am I missing something simply....
eg. WA shot with reef wall and blue water backdrop. I meter for the background exposure controlling the background with the shutter speed ( lower shutter speed= lighter background) Expose the forground using strobe power, aperture and iso)
To meter the backgound set camera to centre weight or spot point at blue half depress shutter. If in manual I then adjust shutter / aperture etc until the meter zero's, or switch to Tv or Av, set the shutter or aperture and then see what exposure it tells me.
Is it easier to meter in TV or AV or P and then switch to manual for the shot or to just do it all in manual?
ie how do you meter the scene....
Hope that makes sense
