Study Notes
- Exposure is crucial in photography, determining image brightness.
- It's controlled by balancing aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.
The Exposure Triangle
- Aperture, shutter speed, and ISO work together to control exposure.
- Adjusting one setting often requires changing another to maintain the exposure level.
Aperture
- Aperture is the size of the lens opening that allows light to pass through.
- It is measured in f-stops (e.g., f/1.4, f/2.8, f/5.6).
- A wider aperture (smaller f-stop number) increases exposure by letting in more light.
- A narrower aperture (larger f-stop number) decreases exposure by letting in less light.
- A wider aperture creates a shallow depth of field (blurry background).
- A narrower aperture results in a large depth of field (sharp background).
Shutter Speed
- Shutter speed measures the duration the camera's shutter stays open, exposing the sensor.
- It is measured in seconds or fractions (e.g., 1/1000s, 1/60s, 1s).
- Faster shutter speeds decrease exposure by letting in less light
- Slower shutter speeds increase exposure by letting in more light.
- Fast shutter speeds are useful when freezing motion.
- Slow shutter speeds blur motion.
ISO
- ISO refers to the sensitivity of the camera's sensor to light.
- It is measured in numerical values (e.g., ISO 100, ISO 400, ISO 1600).
- Lower ISO values decrease exposure and reduce noise by making the sensor less sensitive.
- Higher ISO values increase exposure but introduce more noise by making the sensor more sensitive.
- Higher ISO settings can create graininess/noise.
How They Interact
- Wider apertures, slower shutter speeds and higher ISO values are useful in brighter scenes
- Narrower apertures, faster shutter speeds and lower ISO values are useful in darker scenes
Practical Tips
- Use a light meter to gauge the correct exposure for a scene.
- Practice adjusting aperture, shutter speed, and ISO manually.
- Learning the capabilities and limitations regarding ISO and lens aperture ranges is recommended.
- Settings should be adjusted based on lighting conditions and the subject.
- Experimenting with different combinations develops creative vision.
