Graduate of Joe Pesci School of Public Speaking. Some presenters are like slogging through a snow drift, this dude is more like a slalom skier. He knows what he's planning to say and he has no problem putting it into words. He puts two hours worth of info in a one hour lecture. One of the best B&H lectures I've seen.
Now this guy is the REAL DEAL! Only someone who truly understands his craft AND tested that knowledge for years in the field can teach like this! Thank you B&H and Mr. Glatzer for sharing this tutorial.
This is THE best explanation of metering and exposure that I have ever come across! Thank you! I am not done yet (have gone through the first 30 mins or so twice due to the fast talking :) ), but already you've answered many things I've been struggling with for the last year.
One of the most informative lectures of the type in the Event Space series. Well worth the time to wstch twice. I reset both my better film SLR and my digital DSLRs to a new metering configuration specifically because of the points raised in this lecture.
Don't listen to the critics. This video is the best explanation of exposure compensation out there. He does talk too fast through the technical parts though! Thank you!!
outstanding presentation and speaker. what incredible content and knowledge he shared. please bring Charles back again!
Thanks for watching.
This guy knows his craft, watched this video twice now. Some people commenting on here need to throw their camera away and buy a ball of wool and a couple of knitting needles.
seriously, i lol'ed
Can I keep my camera and just take photos of wool and knitting needles instead? In the snow? And exposed to the right of course.
Each word is a pearl, catch it ! Thanks Charles for sharing your experience.
I found this very useful and interesting. We all think about focus and exposure when we shoot, but many of us use exposure compensation. I found it ironic that this top pro shooter falls back to the original Kodak exposure guide for much of his work, and I had not fully considered the problems that zooming, and re-composing my shots affected exposure, with the camera reacting to the changes by selecting a different exposure value. I likewise often increased exposure by 1.5 - 2 stops when in a snow / white sand location - but again, changes in composing and / or zooming can affect exposure. The camera is fooled quite easily, I didn't truly get that. I have now set auto exposure lock on one of my buttons, and changed the metering to spot to help me find a mid grey and lock it down. So far, I have had great results, it really works! Thank you Charles, you woke me up!
Absolutely amazing presentation. So good I will watch it a second time.
Wonderful to see these dramatic and inspiring winter images. Yes, most experienced photographers know to expose to the right in snowy scenes, but when I see Glatzer's results I'm happy to have this lesson reinforced.
This is one the videos I keep returning to. It is really great stuff!
Joe Pesci teaches exposure. All kidding aside Charles Glatzer is one of the best. Can't wait for more of his lectures.
Ha ha ha !!! You spotted it William. During the all lecture I was trying to find out who he was reminding me of !!! Charles Glatzer is the Nicky Santoro of photography ! ;-)
I live in Anchorage. But regardless of the season, the first thing I do when I step out the door is point my camera toward the sky, (and/or snow) and set the exposure. As you said, this then allows me to be ready for most of the things that will happen in the immediate future. Easy, and effective. Your talk was spot on.
Still my favorite Photography video of All Time
I just want to shout out a massive thank you for this. someone who really knows what they are talking about and makes the subject so interesting and gets it across so well. I have honestly learned so much watching this today and cannot wait to get out into the field and put this into practice. once again. THANK YOU
Fantastic video. Lots of golden nuggets here!
Thank you Charles
I shot manually on my 7d with a 20 mm wide Voigtlander lens. I set it on your recommendations before I left the house (in manual mode) . Set on 1/800 --f8- at 200 ISO before I went outside on a sunny day. I shot trees cars etc and I had a 1 stop filter on my camera, and I compensated down to 5.6 for that. The point is, everything turned out near perfect in spot metering. As you said -- it did shift a little when I shot directly into or almost directly away from the sun (incidence). I adjusted to F22 to shoot near the sun. The photos came out great in terms of mechanics. I also used the technique of reviewing the photo on the back of the camera and adjusting if needed . I fired off a test picture and made any minor adjustments as needed. I will return to the same Mississippi River setting tomorrow to shoot eagles that hunt in this area. I Will adjust to 2500 shutter and try proactive shooting, observing where they land and being ready to fire off when they take off again.
Lots of good information, based on knowledge& experience. The best kind of tutorial vid.
Such a valuable presentation! Thank you, Mr. Glatzer! I'm still a beginner, but this makes so much sense compared to "auto" for every shot. Same light! Of course. Good to get in the habit now.
Omg this is the best lecture I saw on B&H, fantastic thank you guys. And thank you so much Mr. Charles.
Great tutorial hope to see Charles return to the B & H channel very soon.
Best tutorial i have seen for a long time... Thumbs up!!!
I found this to be extremely helpfull and instructive Look forward to future videos
Amazing knowledge !! Thank you so much . I literally spent the whole day re watching and gaining notes , even right now I'm watching it. :)
I will watch all of these videos,they
Really are filled with valuable knowledge
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic explainantions, man! Really solidified some items that tend to be tricky.
Great resource and incredible pics, thank you.
wow, never stopped to realize I am smarter than the camera (how it can be fooled), same light same exposure, that really helped thank you
Wow this guy really knows his stuff, I shoot film I just pretty much spot meter the snow and add 2 stops of light to negative film and maybe 1.5 to slide, and hope everything else falls into place.
One thing I didn't understand. At about the 36: 40 mark you say '... so overcast days it's 2.7 and on the sunny days because it's higher contrast I usually go +2.' Can you explain this a little more?
Gotta try that spot metering + lighting lock trick! Haven't used that much yet :)
Thank you for your presentation , just one thing i will suggest , invite some young generations , I do respect the spectators there , but you should get young photographers so the can carry and pass your lessons to the next ones on line , need explorers
Great video!
Thank you, I learn so much.
Great video thank you. Does anyone know what has happened to Intensify CK software. Has it been incorporated into Luminar?
I contacted Skylum concerning your inquiry. Below is their reply:
Please note that Intensify is our legacy app that's not longer supported. All its features were incorporated into one powerful editor with Libraries - Luminar 4.

Hi IM interested in nowing if you are shooting on manual mode and you say iso 200 how then do I use spot metering and go plus two or minus two if your camera will being off auto iso doesnt allow you to use compensation thanks for your videos Edwin
Great question
Brilliant! Thank you
Top Workshop a really pro
Love this guy!
the guy in front got really excited after 55:20 ..........
Love this!
Is the man in the front row, next to the woman Larry David?
His lecture reminds me of a uptight Richard Dryfess .
Man his voice reminds me of Mocca Joe from Curb Your Enthusiasm lol..
The histogram on the back is from a jpeg not the RAW so you can take it right up to the edge with Nikon. The brightness of the image on the back of the camera depends on the setting for the screen.
Hope you guys invite him back to do a using flash for wildlife video.
Using a flash for wildlife? He's shooting at 600mm. What is a flash going to do? Unless of course you're capturing these animals to shoot in a studio or something.
I shoot exactly like this!
unfortunately i still don't understand.
I’m 44mins into the video and 98% of the time, he’s telling the audience how simple it is and not how to take the manual shots.
It’s really hard to watch when he has the, “why don’t you know this already,” tone in his voice.
Yep, I'm thinking this was geared more towards the people who tend to shoot auto.
Yes this is true. It’s a bit jarring.
Thanks, this guy is really great. I'm a German nativ speaker from Austria mit English level 3 but I culd understand ~ 80% although he spoke fast... and yes he spoke with emotion but he has right. Most of the "photographers" don't know what they do. And guys, most of the youtuber are only youtuber, they would tell us they are professionals, but look at there website and see her pictures...and you will know why they are make a youtube video every week and not make money with her pictures.This guy is a really profesionist and most of the other guys will tell us it only - that what i can say from Austria and I think I know what I say. Thank you. www.scan.at
I like this guy and this video although he does occasionally come across as an angry boomer (I could have just said boomer coz they’re all angry am I right?)
talking too fast, can’t keep up!!!
You can slow down the speed in settings (click on the gear that says "HD" in the lower right corner).
you're listening too slow...;)...joking eh
1&1/2 hrs talking to tell you to adjust a metered exposure by 1.5 to 3 stops.
It also explained incidence, and how to adjust using spot metering using white black and grey (substitute metering) , also provided a quick reference point to begin with on any day 8 8 rule. Also he explained the importance of shooting proactive for wildlife, not reactionary to the scene -- envisioning your shot and predicting the animals relevance to the sun is important to maintaining shadow depth Note: animals move so locked metering assures success after they move. .
He wanted to make sure that I got it which is necessary for a slow learner like me:)
That guy is over nervous, should have taken a valium before giving his presentation. I wouldn't pay 10 cents for listening to him. Big zero
