Very interesting topic, thanks for reminding us of the zone system, Kim. Heard about it before, but didn't hink it through. Not so much of a B&W shoter at the moment, but absolutely share the idea to get everything right in camera. That said I mostly go by gut feeling and only take a glance at the light meter readings. Actually the exposure compensation dial is the most used dial on my cameras beside the shutter button (A prio). Especially with the Fuji film simulations the look can change drastically with over- and underexposing. Especially for Classig Neg. Not really bothered by blowing out highlights or crushing some blacks. But I think I drifted away a bit from the original topic.... 😅🤣 Changing from DSLR to DSLM absolutely changed my way of shooting (WYSIWYG). Love it!
Yeah, the zone system is brilliant. And how we can ‘break’ the zone rules, blow out and crush on purpose is something I really enjoy. My screen on the x100vi is brighter than what I get on my phone, so I need to adjust the brightness to get a more ‘identical’ exposure when shooting from the screen. With the zone system we can just shoot and knowingly get a wanted exposure. Fantastic we have all these guides to help us do what we love. WYSIWYG 🫶🙌😍
I'll give this one a shot next time I'm in my SOOC phase, for sure. As for me, I use highlight metering. For each time of day I've discovered sort of the right EV comp. and then I just fire away. For example, in direct midday light I shoot with +0.7, in soft sunset light I'm at +0, in the shade during the day (soft diffused weak light, like overcast but weaker) I go -1.0 or -1.3, etc. Nighttime - manual, and I found that many people go full manual for it as well, for obvious reasons.
Awesome! That’s the best thing, when you’ve found your right EV an can just shoot. Nighttime I don’t do too much, might have a little focus on that going forward. We are heading into a long dark season where I live now 😅
@@stillkim17 where I'm from, half of the year the sunset time is around 4-5pm, so anything past that is in complete darkness. Some people say it's nighttime shooting, but really for me it's normal everyday shooting 3-5 months a year. Good luck with that, everything changes in regards to handling the camera during the night.
Great video Qim, and excellent way to teach/inform people about metering and dynamic range. Since you asked, I’ll share my way of doing it, which is by no means the right/wrong way to do it, just my preference. I completely eliminated the meter from the display 😂 I use the live view mode to see where I like the look of the image for what I’m going for, and that’s what I take. Does it come with blown highlights and clipped shadows? Sometimes, but if I’m happy with the result, I consider it a win 🤙 Keep those videos coming my friend, they’re great to watch!
Thank you Jorge🙌😍 Live view shooting is great. Crazy that we can watch how the image will become, still amazes me 😆 I’m very happy you enjoyed the watch
@@stillkim17 I’ve been using full manual control for a week now and it’s yielding excellent results … thanks again! The only thing I might add to make my landscape photography even more deliberate would be manual focus! I’ll also need to see how I get on using my Nisi ND and polarizing filters. 📷🙂
Well done🎉🎉 good video❤
Thank you Tommy! 🙌😍

excellent, good to watch someone who is absorbed in their photography.
Thank you! 📷😍
Merci pour cette vidéo. Perso ayant un petit budget, j’ai opté pour le premier X100 d’occasion 😊
Thank you! In my opinion, these are all good cameras. Enjoy ✨
Love to follow life through your lens Kim, I think you might have found your sweet spot! Bravo
Thank you! Not easy figuring this YT stuff out. Luckily the process is still mad fun 😆🫶

Excellent video … thanks! I shoot B&W with my X100V and I’ll definitely give this approach a try! 📷😄
Really fantastic cameras. Thank you! and enjoy, hope you like it.
