Exercise 3: Zone System
Exercise 3a: High, Med and Low Zones
Having learned that the camera light meter is dumb, because it gives you an average or optimized (middle grey; zone 5) exposure irrespective of the subject matter, execute the plan below to prove the theory and record you thoughts on the matter in your eportfolio.


Exercise 3a: High, Med and Low Zones
1. Identify and capture three different subject/scenes comprising of High, Medium and Low Zones.
2. Take two images for each subject/scene; one exposure according to the camera's light meter; and the other according to the zone you believe the scene falls within.
3. Ensure that the subjects/scenes you choose for each zone area (High, Medium and Low) have a good range of tones within that zonal area.
All pictures must be in black and white. Use only sun light (direct or indirect) as source.
