The landscape shot was taken following
metering in the lower right-hand part of the
picture (shadow of the tree on the grass and
the horse). For fast-moving subjects, there is
often no time for exposure metering. In such
cases, exposure metering is performed in
advance. In this example, the top left-hand
corner was metered, as the tape bordering the
racetrack provided light and dark details.
Deliberate over- or underexposure often
enhances the character of a picture and can
be used as a good compositional aid. In this
landscape shot, the fir trees and mountain rid-
ges on the left of the picture (without the sky)
were metered for the exposure, and the value
was then reduced by two stops.
