An incident light meter is your friend here. Measure the light falling onto the face of the subject, and set your exposure from that (M mode).
Group: assuming evenly lit, measure the light falling onto the face of the subject in the middle. For ambient or continuous light (eg CFLs, LEDs) you can use an inexpensive light meter. For flash you'll need a flash meter. These aren't challenging, btw. Challenging is when you add hair lights, rim lights, kicker lights, and have a mixed crowd, some with bald heads, oily or sweaty skin, etc. On Sat, Apr 20, 2013 at 12:15 PM, Bipin Gupta <[email protected]> wrote: > Request please share resources for photographing dark skinned people. > There is still a greater challenge, that of photographing a group of > people with yellow, brown, white, black skin or every other races of > mankind. > Regards. > Bipin - from that far away enchanting land. > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
