The works often emphasize the intensity and complexity of emotional experiences, using bold colors, dynamic compositions, and evocative imagery to communicate the inner workings of the human psyche. Artists might explore personal narratives or universal sentiments, aiming to connect with viewers on a deeply emotional level.

Understanding Metering

Understanding Metering

Sunday 13 October
Williamsville - 12pm - 2 Hours
Buffalo Photography Group
Konstantinos Tsigkrelis
Metering is an incredibly important aspect of photography to grasp. You might have heard about the exposure triangle but I believe we should be talking about an exposure square with metering being the forth side as it is equally as important to getting the correct exposure as your aperture, ISO and shutter speed.
We will explore how and when to use each of the metering options and how to use it to get some creative lighting in your shots.

The instructor, Tanshopan was a delight and had many suggestion for me to discover ways for me to express myself through my paintings. It was a perfect setting in Bassett Park on a sunny day to share ideas. I highly recommend taking a class from Tanshopan. She is very creative and thoughtful.
