Have you ever asked one of the following questions?

How can I get better looking photographs?
How can I learn to use my camera for better photographs?
How do I trust my camera meter?
What middle Gray?
How can I find middle gray?
Why are my photographs often too dark or too light?
How can I learn the zone system easily?
I have a new camera but my photos have not improved, what’s wrong?
How come my highlights are pure with with no detail?
Why are my shadows just blacked out?

Do any of these questions sound like something you have asked yourself?
If so, you are in the right place and it may surprise you as to how simple and easy the answer to all of them really is. I hear questions like these every day as I meet people in our photography gallery and they all have somethings in common; understanding your light meter and histograms. And, Middle Gray is THE centerpiece of these two things, or anything that has to do with metering light. All camera light meters look for middle gray and that’s where this whole story begins.

My book titled Finding Middle Gray (and then some) explains in Super Easy Language what Middle Gray is and how it will help You Get Quality Results From Your Camera.

This eBook also explains the histogram on your digital camera and how it works together with middle gray.

These two things, Middle Gray and the Histogram, are the most important lessons you can learn if you want to grow out of Auto Exposure only photography.

Reading this 60 page book will reward you with better quality exposures and photographs. You will be able to generate better quality out of your new (or old) camera and discover what it can really do. You will be amazed at the results you will get right away.

This little book is very empowering to photographers who apply these easy and simple lessons. You will be able to use your camera in other modes besides full Auto only. Manual and semi manual modes will no longer intimidate you because you will understand what your camera meter is looking for.

You will have creative control of what your pictures will look like, not your camera.

Why Listen to me?
Good question, which I’ll answer with few words and more examples. Go to my website and look at My Photographs. If after looking at them you feel that I know what I’m doing, then by all means listen to me. If not, then that’s ok. I used the simple techniques I show in this book for a majority of the photographs you will see on my site. I’ve been doing this for 37+ years.
