THE INVENTION THE ZONE SYSTEM IS A PHOTOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUE FOR DETERMINING OPTIMAL FILM EXPOSURE AND DEVELOPMENT. BENEFITS CAPTURING A CORRECT EXPOSURE EVERY TIME, EVEN IN THE TRICKIEST LIGHT OR SCENE SITUATIONS. HAVING A PRECISE EVALUATION OF YOUR SCENE'S TONES AND DYNAMIC RANGE PRIOR TO EVEN MAKING A SHOT KNOWING WHEN YOU NEED TO USE GRADUATED NEUTRAL DENSITY FILTERS. KNOWING EXACTLY HOW FAR APART TO TAKE EXPOSURE BRACKETED SHOTS FOR LATER BLENDING. DETERMINING THE SITUATIONS WHERE YOU NEED TO USE A FILL FLASH TO GET A CORRECT EXPOSURE.

ZONE SYSTEM “If you point your camera at an area with average reflectance and obtain the correct meter readings (a zero on the light meter), that area would be rendered as average. If you open up your lens or slow down your shutter speed by one stop, that area will become over-exposed by one stop. If you close down your lens or increase your shutter speed by one stop, that area will become under- exposed by one stop.” Diana Eftaiah 20 March, 2013 Andels Zone System
