Exposure Principles

         Exposure means the revelation of an identity or fact, especially one that is concealed or likely, just kidding.  In photography, exposure means the amount of light in your photos. so a photo could have to little light, underexposed, or too much light, overexposed. Exposure is brought up by three types of controls; Aperture+shutter speed+ISO.  Now a question i asked was, " Then what's the right type of exposure?" I learned that there isn't a right 'type' because you do you and make your own freaking  amazing photos...duhh.

             Number 1, shutter speed. Shutter speed is like the your cameras window. When you take a photo you would hear a click sound and that the shutter opening and closing.  This element measure the amount of TIME it takes light to enter your photos. Controlling it is easy if you know what type of photo you want to take. For example one that's super clear to the point where you see every water drop; you'll use a high/fast shutter speed. Where as wanting a photo that shows movement you'll slow down the shutter speed. 

            Number 2, aperture. aperture is the AMOUNT of light that enters your camera lenses, aka the holes. So f-stops is how aperture is measure. If the aperture hole is bigger, the f-stops are smaller and MORE light comes in. (I know, Confusing).  That would mean the smaller hole would have LESS light enter and a higher f-stop. 

         Lastly, number 3, ISO. ISO is the SENSITIVITY of your camera to light. The higher the ISO number would mean higher sensitivity to light, which means better shots in low light, aka the dark.

        These would be the elements of exposure! It's as difficult as it sounds. But you'll get it, because I did...after a while.😳😳😳
