Light meters are designed to measure the amount of light available in a scene. In photography, they are used to determine the appropriate aperture and shutter speed values required to properly expose an image.
Back in the film days, not many cameras came with a light meter built-in. Photographers had to rely on external handheld light meters to accurately determine the proper exposure. As time went on, camera manufacturers began incorporating light meters into their camera bodies. This made it much easier for photographers to expose their images properly. Fast forward to today, just about every commercially available digital camera has a light meter built-in. They play an essential role in your camera's ability to create properly exposed images. There will be times when you may want to intentionally ignore what your light meter is telling you for creative or other reasons. To do that, however, requires that you understand what your camera's light meter is telling you. Let's dive into it. . thephoblographer.com
