You’ll discover the power of your camera’s spot metering tool – it can bring out exquisite details, contrast, and colors in your subject.

We’ll share our simple, 4-step workflow so you can streamline your fieldwork and get your exposure just right every time.

We’ll show you how exposure is related to shutter speed, aperture, and ISO – and we’ll help you determine the best exposure for any given situation.

You’ll learn to target your new knowledge of spot metering to select an exact shutter speed or aperture for the scene before you – all while maintaining proper exposure.

You’ll have access to on-location, step-by-step case studies that allow you to watch as we use our camera’s spot meter to create real photographs in the field.

Our straightforward, non-technical teaching approach makes manual exposure easy.

What Customers are Saying

The very best possible way to teach

I retired from forty years of teaching elementary and middle school math/science students. As a former Indiana Teacher of the Year and and inducted member into the NATIONAL TEACHERS HALL OF FAME, I know what makes great teachers, and believe me, you and Varina Patel are excellent at what you do because you take complex topics and make them so simple to understand. Better yet, you teach your lessons directly from the field, on site—the very best possible way to teach.
