Metering

A light meter helps you focus on the main thing you want focused and by doing that you need to get close to the subject and then scoot back to normal and take the picture. On the first picture the focus was on the computer screen. I got close to the computer screen so the screen could be seen well instead of just bright light. On the bottom picture the focus was on the person so no w the person is the emphasis and not the computer screen. You are now able to see the person but not the computer screen. Metering can help you in the future if, for example, you are in a dark place and you want a certain object to be your emphasis.
