Unit 3 - Light (Activity 3)

The photographer who took this picture would need to use a light meter to avoid overexposure. Since the photographer is taking this picture toward the sun, the risk for over  exposure is high. Using the light meter would ensure the photographer that the natural light will, or will not over expose the picture.

Since the natural light in this photograph is low, the photographer would need a light meter to make sure that the light will register in the picture, and it won't come out black. Using the light meter allows you to adjust your settings so you can make sure that enough light is in the picture. The mood set for this picture depicting a dream catcher is a peaceful, sleepy, calm mood. It gets that tone based on how much light is in the photograph.
