When we look at the Exposure Level Indicator (ELI), what are we seeing? By pressing the shutter button down half way will bring up the exposure level needle. If the needle is pointing at the zero mark, this indicates in most instances the correct level of exposure for a good photo. If the needle points to the left at the -1 or -2, this indicates an underexposure of 1 or 2 full f-stops (or more). If the needle points to the right at the +1 or +2, this indicates an overexposure of 1 or 2 full f-stops (or more). Underexposure means a darker picture and an overexposure means a lighter picture. Finally the small tick marks between the full f-stops represent the 1/3 f-stops.
In order to take a properly exposed photo in manual we want the needle, in most cases, to point at zero. The normal way to adjust the needle is by changing the shutter speed or f-num. Which one you adjust first is usually dependent on if you are taking an action picture (shutter speed) or landscape/portrait (f-num). In this example I will take a portrait of Tigger so I will use my 55mm lens and start by adjusting the f-num.
We will be looking at the frames above from left to right and top to bottom. In the first frame we have just turned on the camera. The main thing to note is that with the current settings we are underexposed (the needle was flashing indicating it was off the scale by an unknown amount). Since this is a portrait, I will lower the f-num from f11 to f5.6 for a narrower depth of field. This will also increase our exposure level 6 clicks or 2 full f-stops (f10, f9, f8, f7.1, f6.3, f5.6). The second frame shows f5.6 but we are still underexposed* so in the third frame I adjusted the shutter speed until the needle moved under the zero. A Rule of Thumb is photos with shutter speeds slower than 1/60 should be taken with a tripod. Since we have a shutter speed of 1/30, if we are using a tripod, we can take the picture (Even if you have a tripod you may want to follow the next step just to avoid movement in the subject).
If we don’t have a tripod, we are going to continue adjusting the settings. Since 1/30 is to slow a shutter speed to take the picture by hand and I can’t lower the f-num any further my only option is to increase the ISO. This is my own Rule of Thumb but unless I’m shooting action pictures I usually try to use the lowest ISO I can get away with. To pick an ISO we could just go to an ISO of 200, readjust the shutter speed and see if we can zero the needle. If it doesn’t, then try 400 and readjust and so on until we get the needle to zero.
That’s kind of hit or miss and not very Ansel Adams like. Another way is to use what we learned from the first page. In frame 4 you can see I adjusted the shutter speed to 1/60 (the slowest speed we want for hand held photography) and counted how many Main Dial clicks it took to get there. From 1/30 we have 3 clicks (1/40, 1/50, 1/60) or 1 full f-stop of underexposure as can be seen on the ELI. We also know that increasing the ISO one position from 100 to 200 will increase the exposure level 1 full f-stop, which should then move the needle back to zero which can be seen in frame five. We are now ready to take a hand held picture.
Let’s say you’ve had too much Red Bull and are feeling a little shaky so you don’t want to take a hand held picture right at the edge at 1/60. You could increase the ISO once more to 400, which will overexpose the picture by 1 full f-stop as seen in frame six. Then from 1/60 increase the shutter speed 3 clicks or 1 full f-stop (1/80, 1/100, 1/125) as seen in frame seven**. Now you have plenty of margin on the shutter speed and the needle is back to zero.
Note 1: again as we discussed on page 1, to have the relationships between the ISO, shutter speed and f-num work this precise, you have to maintain a constant aim point. Small variations in the aim point could cause variations in the light meters exposure level readings which will be seen in the needle. And again tripods can help eliminate any inconsistencies.
*Note 2: In frame 2, we are underexposed by 2 1/3 full f-stops (1 click off scale left) because from shutter speed 1/160 to 1/30 is 7 clicks (1/125, 1/100, 1/80, 1/60, 1/50, 1/40, 1/30) and to get from zero to -2 on the ELI is 6 clicks (count them).
**Note 3: In frame 6, instead of increasing shutter speed, we could have increased the f-num or a combination of the two to move the needle to zero. It depends on the look you’re trying to achieve.
I hope this helps you to use the Exposure Level Indicator. Now on to the assignment.
A view down the corridor to the fallen bunks, Brinksway deep level air raid shelter.
Underneath Stockport are three deep level air raid shelters. Two are bricked up, Brinksway and Dodge Hill, and a third, Chestergate is open to the public.
These are the largest purpose built shelters in the UK, and were tunnelled out of the soft sandstone. Work started on the tunnels in 1938 and the first set of shelters was opened on 28 October 1939. Stockport was first bombed on the 11th October 1940. The smallest of the tunnel shelters could accommodate 2,000 people and the largest 6,500 people.
Stockport is only 6 miles away from Manchester, the local folk complained the Mancunians were taking up all the room inside the shelters.
The tunnels were 7 feet wide and 7 feet high and had electric lighting and wooden bench seating. There were toilets, mostly chemical although a few were plumbed into the mains. A warden’s post, a first aid store and a tool store were also provided.
As the threat of bombing receded in 1943, it was decided that the tunnels no longer needed to be open every night. After the end of the War, the tunnels were sealed up and remained virtually as they had been after the war.
High-Level Ministerial (HLM) Conference on Rice: Delivering on Commitments to Transform Africa's Rice Industry
The HLM Conference was held on 25 September within the context of the Senegal Rice Day. The HLM Conference consisted of ministerial panel discussions on issues related to the improvement of the rice value chain to accelerate rice self-sufficiency in Africa. The HLM Conference was co-organized by the Government of Senegal, African Union Commission (AUC), the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) Agency, the African Development Bank (AfDB), the African Regional Office of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Senegalese Institute of Agricultural Research (ISRA), and AfricaRice.

I went downstairs for a closer look and this is the closest I could get. They obviously wouldn't let us go out the front door which, by the way, is shown clearly in the film.
Extra bonus!: Commentary from the spoiled college kids whose parents think they deserve a downtown apartment as a dorm, one of whom is "bored."
Even with my tripod system (which costed an arm and a leg + more), it doesn't have a level built in.
I loved this gadget from the first moment I saw it. The problem. B&H sells it for about $37. The bargain shopper in me refused to buy it for that price and asked a few people to keep an eye out for me. And Cal came through! You rock! Yippee! I didn't need it quite yet and didn't buy it, but saved the web site.
Fast forward a few months...
A friend from Australia who joins my yearly photo shoot found the bubble level for $20 and thought it was a great deal. And then I remembered Cal's linky! Score!
She wanted four, and I wanted a few for some friends, and ended up picking 20 (round number) since our upcoming trip to Moab has 70 photographers! We figured that someone would buy them!
And do you know the funny part? Nearly all 20 already have owners and I just received them this morning.
I'm keeping two, and giving one to Cal, Caren, Dan, Norbert, Justin, Brett, Will (??? -- you said you didn't need one???). Did I miss anybody? Do I need to buy more?
And this is just a photo of 17. I picked up the package this morning before work and three were already on its way to a photographer on the east coast by lunch time. :-)
I love bargains that work.

The Level Crossing at Heckington. Not many manually operated crossings left now, and it adds to the effect of the village... a reminder of times when life was a lot less hurried and the days of many branch lines and village stations.
This level crossing deserves listed status, the gates adding to the scene with the windmill in the background.
Clearly the paving slabs have been replaced and reused from elsewhere since the road was last painted.
