Tonight we welcome back Andrew Broekhuijsen (Reddit at u/B_Huij, www.kopeckphotography.com, Flickr Andrew Broekhuijsen) to the show. Together with Küks, they attempt to demystify “the zone system”. By demystify, we mean to share some key concepts and practical applications that can be useful to anyone using any camera. The conversation starts by defining what the zone system actually is, and some common terms you may hear when people talk about the zone system. Then we get to different kinds of meters and why you would want a spot meter, even if you shoot color negative film. We describe how a spot meter is used to determine how to expose and then, if necessary, modify development of your film. The most important part of the conversation is reinforcement that we need to have a visualization of what we want the print (or image) to look like in its final form, before taking the photo! We hope you enjoy this conversation, and feel free to reach out to us with any feedback!
