Hey there
I have a favour to ask of you... I am currently doing my Year 12 HSC (Australian: Higher School Certificate, ie. Last year of high school) Information Processes and Technology major project, Which is to be a website on photography and cameras.
I saw your tutorial and was wondering if I would able to feature it on the site I make. Of course, You will be fully credited with links to your deviantart profile and deviation page.
I will also send you a link at the completion of the project if you would wish to see.
I would really appreciate if you agreed, but if you donβt, no hard feelings
Thanks!

Just a couple of things to point out; first "Photograpey" is spelled wrong. It's Photography (no "e").
Second you might try to find or create a picture of the light meter that does not have a crack in the screen. I know that it may not be a big deal but if your images you use are not of professional quality then folks may not take you seriously.
And lastly I would remove the part about HDR. HDR is a completely different topic and most beginning photographers will not know about HDR. You could however create a tutorial for HDR and add a link to it from this page so your readers can follow up if they have more questions.
Just a couple of things to think about.

Well I knew it damaged film, and I remembered my teacher telling us never to point at the sun no matter what camera. But NOW I know he was talking about looking at it through the viewfinder, and damaging your eyes haha

It depends on the camera, my canon rebel xti specifically says never to shoot the sun, for it causes irreparable damage. It overexposes regardless if i point it at the sun. see [link] :thumb159357058: I used it for a very erethrial look. But it is very limiting, especially for landscapes. a polarizing filter may save your camera I would suppose, or when the sun is at the thick hued horizon, I think it is fine.
Great article. Do you know of a slr setting for live concert photography? maybe a tutorial? I am getting better, but tired of guessing, or is it just all guessing with wild crazy lights?

put your camera in manual mode and under expose it a whole lot. When you do that the sun is easier to see.
As for live photography, It's all guess work haha. The lights are so random!

thanks! yea, that underexposing kinf of defeats the purpose, the colors it casts in the sky is what I am after, and I havent found a good compromise yet, I will experimnt more, and i just found a super trick, to shoot in RAW, so I might be able to now that I am aware of that...
I FOUND SOME GREAT STUFF on youtube about concert photo's here, check this; [link]
