PHOTOGRAPHY FOR U--SHOOTING DIFFERENT SKIN TONED PEOPLE.

IT is a normal practice with every unexperienced photographer , how to expose people, particularly with dark skin tones and light skin tones. naturally when u meter towards these subjects, the fluctuations will occur in your camera or external meter.......meter is light sensitive and as u wud expect, the lighter subject reflect light and the dark one absorbs it............suppose u set the meter correctly taking the meter reading from your palm, which is of normal tone. ....now move your lens towards a almost white skin tone of a girl, such as 'Kashmiri girl'..........u will see that your meter goes up showing overexposure......now turn the lens towards a dark complexioned girl,..........ur meter will go down, showing under exposure...........then how to take correct exposed skin texture of both the girls.............very natural, if u have read some lessons of photography...........underexpose by half to one stop for the white skinned girl and overexpose in the same way for the dark complexioned girl to get the correctly exposed photograph............yes, in general group give the exposure demanded by the camera's exposure meter where different complexioned people are there(in shadow).
seeing the different coloured people, group, may be students or general people in shadow, i bring down my camera's exposure towards a little bit darkerened road, or go close to the person of middle range skin tones take reading and and then shoot.

SEE BACK......

I HAVE given briefs of digital cameras as u have seen in earlier pages........TO come out from the machinery, let us see how the machinery can be used for your creative purpose:
i have written in the title 'see back'............it is not your back but subject's back who is before your camera. this is the thing mostly overlooked by the photographers in order to be busy with their subject alone, not what is surrounding it................here I WILL SUGGEST that u shd check your the image in your viewfinder properly, before clicking the photograph. place your subject keeping the background in mind..................look out for tree, or electric/telephone poles sprouting from your subject's head. cluttered background will be distracting. therefore, in order to take good photo in one go, choose your background carefully...........................PLAIN BGs will help emphasise your subject beautifully, since at that time your full attention will be on your subject...........thanks God if she be your girlfriend, then double attention will be required for clicking one shot.so i plead that u be conscious of your photo's background more than as much u are interested to take your well planned shot...................
