ABSTRACT
One of the most important things that photographer will be interacting is with their camera's light meter. There are three major types of meters: reflected-light meters, spot meters, and incident-light meters. A reflected-light meter is found inside photographer’s camera already, but this type is also manufactured in a stand-alone handheld form. Photography is all about capturing the light that bounces off of various surfaces, and makes its way through photographer’s camera lens to the image-capture device in the back of their camera. Along the way, the amount of light that is captured and fixed as an image is influenced by several parts of the camera that photographer’s have control over. The zones are numbered zero through ten, with Zone five being considered middle grey. The eyes, which are still far more capable of perceiving light than any camera made, are often able to discern detail in almost all of these exposure zones simultaneously.
