Our first class cancelled because of bad weather. Welcome to New Engand!
Sunny Days: For most photos it's best to keep the sun behind you. If however, the sun is actually behind your subject, move in as close as you can get to your subject to take your meter reading and then back up again, re-focus, re-compose, and squeeze the shutter. You have to be mindful of what your meter is seeing. It's like moving it up from the table to the ceiling light; you should get used to seeing how your meter is going to respond to different lighting situations.
Snow Scenes: If you're photographing a scene with a lot of white in it, you should make a change to your usual metering step. After you set the correct exposure, open up your lens at least one stop. For example: if you're using f/8, open your lens up to f/5.6, or even f/4 if you have a lot of snow in the scene. If you want your snow to come out white, this is necessary. Your meter is designed to average everything to gray, which is fine for most scenes, but show should be white, not gray. Let me know if this is confusing.
This class is awesome!
I really, really liked the video that was posted this week. The only photographer I knew was Diane Arbus (and I really, really like her work a lot) but it was all so inspiring!

p.s. Diane's biography was really interesting. c:
So I'm back to harass your new students...
Hey guys, I look forward to seeing what you can produce as a group. Some of the negatives looked really cool. Have fun! ^-^
