NEW CONCEPTS:
Metering:Metering (Viewfinder Photography)A metering sensor.This sensor is located inside the camera, where it measures the brightness of the subject when exposed to light.The camera optimizes exposure by adjusting shutter speed, aperture (f-stop), and ISO sensitivity according to the brightness of the subject.
The camera does not simply measure the overall brightness of the frame, but measures brightness separately in multiple areas of the frame. The metering mode determines which areas of the frame are used by the camera to measure subject brightness and how the camera sets exposure. Normally the camera uses matrix metering, in which it divides a wide area of the frame into multiple segments and sets exposure based on a variety of information, including subject brightness and color. You can also choose center-weighted metering (in which the camera assigns the greatest weight to the center of the frame) and spot metering (in which the camera meters the area around the selected focus point). Choosing a metering method according to the scene and your creative intent allows you to achieve results that better mirror your artistic vision. To see more click on the Metering Button below |

Narrative Project:
Storytelling and listening to stories are part of human instincts and human nature. Beginning with the oral tradition and in forms of myths, legends, fables, anecdotes, or ballads, man has been telling stories and listening to them ever since he learned to speak. These were told and retold and passed down from generation to generation as a valuable knowledge and wisdom. When we talk about any form of storytelling, the term narrative always shows up. The Free Dictionary defines a narrative as “a story or account of events, experiences, or the like”. This definition implies that terms narrative and story are interchangeable, but is it really so? The story is usually defined as the chronological sequence of events. The event itself is not a story, it is a moment trapped in time. Even though the story always has a narrative, there are narratives that are not stories. This shows the elusive quality of the term.
