Re: Understanding Exposure
Can we touch base on the Zone System real quick again? I know there's mixed feelings regarding it's use in the digital world, but I think there is some relevance to at least understanding it's concept.
I've been looking at it for a few days now. In the book I have it specifically refers to the different levels as roman numerals. Zone 0 (equivalant to N+5?) is black and Zone X (equivalant to N-5?)is white. Zone V (equivalant to N?)is middle gray- the one gray cards are made from.
Before I go further, am I correct when I conclude Zone V is what my in-camera meter "averages" a scene? Aaargghh... I'm not verbalizing this right. Is that what the exposure my camera's meter, meters for? Goodness is anyone following me on this question? (Maybe it's time for bed. lol)
