Chapter 3: Light and Exposure
When I first started showing interest in photography, I would only use the "Auto" feature to get my photographs. Although that did the job, I did not have full control over how I wanted my pictures to turn out, exactly. When I switched to "Manual" mode, exposing a photograph correctly was the hardest thing for me to understand. There are so many different aspects that contribute to how a photo is exposed. For example, not only are the ISO, shutter speed, and aperture the only features that have a role in lighting a photograph. As a photographer, you should also keep in mind the noise level, while balance, and tone as well, which this chapter talks about. A change in setting in each one of these aspects can completely transform your photograph. One thing that I did not learn before were about the histograms in camera's. I have worked with Lightroom and Photoshop which helped me understand that there is a low and high bar that determines how exposed your photo is, and my only knowledge about histograms were that you should stay within the low and high bars.
