Get the Perfect Exposure: Part 2
Are you still struggling with achieving the right exposure in your photos? A simple and affordable tool, the 18% grey card, might just be the solution you need.
When light hits an object and it's too dark, your camera or light meter may indicate an overexposure. Similarly, brighter objects can result in an underexposure reading. To combat this, aim to find a mid-tone object for accurate exposure measurement.
In high-contrast scenes, finding a mid-tone can be challenging. This is where the 18% grey card comes in handy, as it represents the midpoint between pure white and pure black, reflecting the exact light that hits it. To use it, place the grey card where you intend to measure the light, then point your camera or meter at it. This will give you a precise light reading.
These grey cards are versatile and useful in various photography styles. For portraits, positioning the card next to your subject's face can ensure perfect skin tones.
While understanding the complete science behind light meters isn’t necessary, a basic knowledge helps. All light meters are calibrated to an exposure of 18%, matching the grey card's reflection.
Priced at just a few euros, you can find these cards at most good camera stores. Whether you're using digital or film cameras, in black and white or color, the 18% grey card is an essential addition to your photography toolkit.
