MEASUREMENT EXAMPLES WITH VARIOUS SUBJECTS
1. Portrait Photography
There are various kinds of human subject photography. In a case, for example, of a skier against a snowy mountain background, the human subject simply becomes a picture detail and for the purpose of determining the exposure, this cannot be considered portrait photography. In the final analysis, portrait photography is when the human subject is in the center of the picture and the exposure adjusted to him. In addition, camera to subject distance must be considered, whether the picture is to be one person or a group.
Measurement by incident light (Lumisphere installed) displays high effectiveness in portrait photography. Perform measurement as described in the section on Incident Light Measurement. After setting the proper exposure for the human subject, lighting conditions do not present a problem and subject detail is preserved even under back lighting.
