Find three objects; one black, one white and one grey. Using your camera in Auto or Program mode take a picture of each, ensuring that you completely fill the frame with the object. If you don’t have Auto or Program mode simply use the camera’s suggested settings in Manual mode .
The original suggestion of using program mode is to keep the camera in control, making the task easier and more consistant. The aim of course is to emphasises thorough the lens metering's big drawback if you allow the camera to make decisions about exposure for you.
It does leave the option to work in maunual mode (promise not to check your camera model against your exif data - that would just be nit picking!) allowing you to select your aperture or shutter speed of choice.
Text book examples Matt - shocking isn't it, but reasuring - we are still cleverer than the machines!
