About

Hey there, I'm Cody! I'm a documentary filmmaker, photographer, and part time van-dweller. I'm a human being with many interests, but here, we talk about photography. I'm on a mission to make photography as accesible, easy to understand and fun as I possibly can. Why? Because photography is one of life's most fulfilling pursuits. At least, it has been for me. It's a craft that, if you give yourself to, will give you far more in return. It kinda feels like magic. It's difficult to describe. But that's why I make videos about it instead. Thanks so much for checking out the channel. I'm glad you're here!

Video Description

Metering for film photography can seem complicated and convoluted, especially when so many photographers do it differently. In this video, I want to break down the essentials and give you the tools so you can meter deliberately from a place of creativity and understanding. 👉🏻 Become a better photographer in 1 minute: http://codymitchell.com/insider?video=Mh3mkWMRpew 🎥 Check out the gear I used to make this video: http://codymitchell.com/kit 🌐 Website: https://codymitchell.com 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/degreesoflight/ 0:00 The Struggles of Metering (A Dramatization) 2:01 Film Density 8:42 Ansel & The Zone System 13:16 In the Field 21:00 Final Thoughts
