Metering Preference

This morning when the sun was almost up, I took these two pictures. On the first shot, I metered the sky for the correct exposure. And I metered the house for the correct exposure. Both at f8. As you can see, they give different results. Which one do you like better?

Photograph Technique

I'm getting serious in learning photography in the last couple weeks. I found this technique in a book and tried it out on StarCom Shadow Spy. I took several shots and this is one of my best shots. As you can see, it looks like Shadow Spy is doing a warp.

How to do this:
You need to zoom to your subject, set your shutter speed at 1/4s or slower adjust your aperture to the correct exposure. And when you release your shutter speed, zoom out as fast as you can. In this shot I moved from 135mm to 70mm.
