A Nikon Setting I Recently Changed for Landscape Photography

In this video, I talk about a Nikon camera setting I recently changed for my landscape photography and why I am testing it in real-world shooting. This video focuses on Nikon highlight-weighted metering and how it affects exposure decisions when photographing high dynamic range landscape scenes like bright skies, clouds, snow, and waterfalls. I explain: Why I decided to try this new to me metering mode How highlight-weighted metering works on Nikon cameras What I am seeing so far when using it for landscape photography When this setting makes sense and when it does not I aim to help you understand your Nikon light metering settings so you can make intentional choices about which is best for you. 🎥 Related Videos Which Light Metering Mode? -    • Which Light Metering Mode for Landscape Ph...   Histogram Basics -    • Histogram Basics - Landscape Photography E...   Content: 00:00 - Intro 01:03 - Nikon Metering Modes 03:18 - Highlight-Weighted Metering 10:12 - Need to Know 13:28 - Wrap-up 🛠️ Photography Workshop Information https://jeffreytadlock.com/workshops 📬 Want a FREE copy of my Guide to Better Landscape Photos?
