1. sirs, unsa jud diay gamit sa filter(in our case ky outdoor mn a2 g.storyaan, we'll settle for the UV filter as for now...hehe) ug lens hood sirs? unsay effect nila sa imong mga output?(kanang wala pa g.PP ha?)

2. sirs, cge ko gamit ug spot ug evaluative metering modes sir bah, pero wala jud ko kita sa concrete nga effects ani nila...although, naka basa nkog mga guides about sa metering nya naka sabot npd ko pero lahi mn jud ning kung ma apply na nmo btaw, so in my case, wala pa jud au ko kakita sa ilang mga gamit ug effects sa pix...thnx in advance mga sirs...

@parts - UV filter - mostly that's just protection for the front element of the lens; prevents dirt or fingerprints getting on the lens itself....there are other filters which give an effect (polarizer, etc.), but that's another story...

lens hood - main function is to prevent lens flare....see this one...Lens hood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

metering modes - unless you use Auto mode (in which case you have an expensive and heavy P&S camera), they won't have a direct effect on the photo. they just tell you what the camera thinks is the correct exposure, and you can use it as a guide. maybe you should read this one....Basic Principles of Photography

I'm not sure if this is based on theory but in my experience shooting toys, I always use spot metering because I put my toys in front of a single color background, e.g., white, black, now green. When I use spot metering, I manually evaluate white balance too against a white typewriting paper since I don't have what pros call a white card or neutral gray card.

For subjects that aren't against a single color background or the scene doesn't have a dominant color, I use evaluative a.k.a, pattern? matrix metering. I haven't found a use for center weighted yet but maybe I should try it sometime.

I'm new in this field but just like traditional art, there are no rules, only time-tested guidelines. I started out learning the technical aspect of photography with my P&S and I'm ready to move on. I have yet to develop "the eye" just like my friend from Japan, take a look at the photos he took from his film camera and he told me he didn't read any book about photography or went to a seminar. I guess he's a natural.
