Book to recommend on 'Exposure'?

Post by Daniel »

Hey everybody,

Wanted to know if there's any book recomendation for topics on 'Metering and Exposure'. Currently I'm a little bit confused about the right usage of metering system....incident meter, spot metering...etc
Hoping to read up something to set my mind at the right path.

The only book that I know of on the market that talk about metering is called 'The Hand Exposure Meter Handbook' by Zuckerman.

Any thoughts on this?

Apreciate any help given. Thanks

Regards,
Daniel

"The Negative", by Ansel Adams, one of the finest books ever written about photography.
It was meant for still photographers, but I think every aspiring cinematographer should read it too.
It covers all topics related to exposing and developing film, the Zone System, previsualization, use of filters, pre-exposure, development modification, special techniques of film development, darkroom technique,etc.
