290-365v4 Lighting the Way

A bit of a throwaway shot today as it’s been a really busy day and I’ve not really had time to get out and so any photography and I’ve run out of steam now!

I put up an Ikea shelving system for the garden today…so you’ll forgive my tiredness 😉 Actually, after a bit of a false start it went up pretty well and Debbie then filled it up with all the empty pots and bits and pieces that have been littering the garden. She also put up these solar powered lanterns which are there to help me with seeing what I’m doing in the bin area as it gets quite dark in the garden during the winter evenings.

It also gave me the chance to start practising the Nick Carver Precision Method for metering exposure settings…more for when using film cameras, but perfectly acceptable to use on digital cameras as well, as I did here with the Sony A6000. I set the camera exposure to meter the lanterns tones at between Medium Light and Very Light and got this excellent exposure…so it definitely works…and I’m not even close to half way through the course yet!
