If you are coaching yourself through photography, and you are having trouble getting into manual exposure calculations, try this pattern below. It proceeds from least to most complex, for teaching yourself or coaching someone else.
- Straight hot shoe flash exposure using guide numbers (100ASA, X-synch speed)
- Sunny 16 daylight exposure
- Incident light metering
- Center weighted average metering through the viewfinder (ambient only)
- Center weighted average with a simple overall tonal shift +/- 1 or 2 stops
- Spot metering
- Spot metering for tonal shift
- Flash plus ambient ("shutter drag") based on spot metering
- Flash plus ambient by flash & spot metering with a tonal shift
- Flash plus ambient by guide numbers and center weighted average metering
- Flash plus ambient by guide numbers and sunny 16 or other estimate
- Any metering method with flash involving bounce, gel or light modifiers against spectral sensitivity of films
Give that course a try, and see if it helps you better.
