Colorful Gerbera, by Ola Cedell

This photograph was taken as a part of an assignment were you learn to handle the different metering modes. This photography was taken when using Center-weighted, due to the dark background the center-weighted gave the most desired result. When an attemptp with multi-zone or matrix metering the flower became slightly over exposed. When taking the photo, manual mode (EV0) was used. After ISO and aperture was set the shutter speed was dialed until the camera indicates correct exposure according to the camera exposure metering.
