Up until now, we've covered three of the more basic, essential aspects of understanding the minutiae that goes into composing a photograph. While traveling, it's easy to run into vastly different scenes from hour to hour, making it all the more important to understand how and why your camera reacts the way it does. The goal here is to get you more comfortable with manually controlling your camera so you can accurately capture whatever it is you've traveled to see, and while it's not nearly as simple to grasp as ISO, aperture or shutter speed, getting a basic understanding of metering is essential to understanding how exposure works.

In this guide, we'll provide you with the knowledge you need to know in order to grasp metering and how it affects the exposure (darkness / brightness) of your travel shots. And we'll also refrain from drowning you in technical knowledge that you have no time to ingest. Read on to get one step closer to mastering metering.Continue reading Travel Photo Tips: What is metering, and how does it affect my pictures?Travel Photo Tips: What is metering, and how does it affect my pictures? originally appeared on Gadling on Fri, 21 Jan 2011 11:00:00 EST.
