zone 8

This photo of my sheets was exposed at f 5.6 @ 1/500. But because it is a shot of white sheets it should be zoned for zone 8 due to its white textured quality. To correctly zone this image the new exposure would be f 2 @ 1/500.

Zone 3:

The dark foliage in this photograph represents zone 3 because it has texture and visible detail while it is still considered "black." The recommended exposure for this was f2.8 @ 1/250. The correct exposure is f8 @ 1/250.

Zone 1

This is zone 1 because of the tiny crack that is has slight tone of black and it has no texture. My camera originally calculated for me to shoot at f2 1/60. So, in order to zone, I would move to f2 at 1/1000. This would enable the blacks to be blacker and I went from zone 5 down 4 zones to zone 1.

Look at the beautiful suit I wore for the Jewish High Holidays! I'd say this is about a zone 2 -- I mean, come on, look at how dark and masculine it is (hardly any detail)! The recommended exposure was F4 @ 1/25, so I would need to change it to an F8 @ 1/25!

Zone 8

I missed class on Friday so I never was assigned a zone…. So I’m choosing zone 8! This photo can be considered in zone 8 due to the white color of Greig’s shirt (it is not in zone 9 because of the texture that can be seen). My camera calculated the exposure to be f16 at 1/500 so to get it from zone 5 to zone 8 I would need to change my settings to f16 at 1/60
