What is Exposure
Exposure is one of the most fundamental Photography terms. When you take a picture, you press the shutter button to open a camera’s aperture, and light streams in, triggering a response from a sensor. Exposure is the amount of light that reaches your camera’s sensor, creating visual data over a period of time. That time period could be fractions of a second or entire hours.
What is Camera Exposure?
Camera exposure is the overall brightness or darkness of a photograph. More specifically, it’s the amount of light that reaches the film or camera sensor when a picture is being taken. The more you expose the film or camera sensor to light, the lighter your photo will be. The less light, the darker your photo will be.
Best Camera Setting in Photography
- Aperture: f/1.8-f/5.6 in low light or for a narrower depth of field, and f/8-f/16 for a wider DoF.
- Shutter Speed: From 30 seconds to 1/4000th of a second depending on the scene.
- ISO: 100-3200 in entry-level cameras, and 100-6400 in more advanced cameras.
What is Exposure Compensation in Photography
Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value selected by the camera, making photographs brighter or darker. In modes P, S, and A, the camera automatically adjusts settings for optimal exposure, but this may not always produce the exposure the photographer intended.
The Aperture Scale
The exposure scale is to Photography what the alphabets are to a writer. These are the tools you use to creatively manipulate your exposures. If you’ve ever observed a professional photo shoot, you may have heard numbers that sound like Greek, unless you are aware of the exposure values
