What can you expect? As the title suggests an outstanding photographic work does not come from simply choosing a 'professional camera' and snapping the shot. It all starts with seeing the light, interpreting it in favour of the envisaged Photograph and then the correct manipulation of the camera.
And here we have the first, or maybe the only real problem: We see light totally different compared to any camera, storing the information on classic analog film or digital on a memory card. So the initial step is to find a way to translate our human vision of the scene that unfolds in front of us into 'machine code' - into a range of various levels of brightness from the deepest shadows to the brightest highlights. If we manage not to cut out any part of the original brightness control, we should have a representation of the 'real image'.
One very well known system to control the exposure and then the final image is Ansel Adams Zone System. It provides photographers with a systematic method of precisely defining the relationship between the way they visualize the photographic subject and the final results. The Zone System is concerned with control of image values, ensuring that light and dark values are rendered as desired. The anticipation of the final result before making the exposure is known as visualization.
YOU WILL FIND MORE ON THAT A LITTLE LATER !
