Light Metering

For the first picture I focused in on the computer screen, pressed on the shooting button halfway and then pulled back and snapped the shot. What had happened was the focus on the screen appeared in the shot but my partner had dissappeared in the photo.

This second picture I put my focus on my partner, I then again pressed ont the shooting button halfway and then pulled back and snapped the photo. What happened in this photo was that my main focus was on my partner, making him stand out and the screens become unclear.

The overall importance of knowing how to take these pictures is so we know how exactly to get a better looking picture that makes our subjects stand out, rather than just snapping the shot without even caring what's around.
