Light Matters (number 2)

Yesterday I wrote a post about light metering and after a while someone decided it should have been deleted for using ChatGPT.
Well, I'm not mother language and I asked for help for the translation, I admit. I don't understand why this could be important if the topic that started had captured readers interest, dough...

By the way, it was a series of thought about how we measure the light before shooting our picture. I grew up with the Zone System by Ansel Adams (shouldn't be forgotten), photographically speaking and I really don't understand how many photographers don't give the right importance to something that photography is built on: the light.

And I'm not talking about shooting "in manual" as someone yesterday said.

I'm talking about controlling the exposure in a frame in detail, using a real Spot Meter.
I recently realized that for years I’ve been trusting the camera meter way more than I should. It usually gives you something usable but theres is a lot of difference between “usable” and “control”, especially with tricky light (backlight, strong contrasts, etc.): we always end up with something not intentional. Just because our camera measure lights the way someone (or something) decided.
Instead of letting the camera do it, I prefer to slow things down (and sure, it's difficult to apply to certain kind of photography) but to have exactly what I want: it's a way to be a bit more conscious of what I’m doing.

That's it.

I was just curious how you guys approach this.

P.S. And now you got all the typos and errors ;)
