Sometimes with certain scenes, light meters are fooled by the conditions and make their own decisions. Most times they work great but there are times when they just don’t get it right. This is when exposure compensation can be used.

Dealing with outdoor light might seem easy, and certainly plenty of rules of thumb are passed around regarding outdoor photography. Photographers might refer to the Sunny 16 rule or the saying "f/8 and be there." However, it is more important that you know how and why the light works in your photographs than what exposure to use. The obvious problem with rules of thumb is that they only get you started. What about light underneath clouds or shade? What about times when the sun is just rising or

If you regularly shoot landscapes, you'll soon make a discovery that seems obvious when you think about it - the sky is much brighter than the land. This is a real problem when you're taking photos of sunsets, especially when the sun is still above the horizon. The sky is so bright that if you expose for sky, anything on land goes black. If you expose for the land, the sky is washed out and you lose the beautiful sunset that you set out to photograph. This tutorial will introduce the idea of

Here are several tips to help you capture the best images in dark indoor settings. You will be taking long exposures, and any camera motion could impact the quality of the image.

Imagine you’ve just put a pie in the oven. Now, the back of the packet said it needed 20 minutes at 120 degrees, but you haven’t defrosted your pie yet. How hot do you want it? How long should you leave it in the oven for and at what temperature? Welcome everyone to the world of photography.

If you like to adjust your exposure settings, use a telephoto lens, or if you just want to experiment with the manual settings on your SLR, then you need a tripod.

There are two parts involved in exposing film or a digital sensor to light. One is the intensity of the light and the other is the length of time the light is allowed to strike the film or sensor. Exposure= intensity x time.

Getting the right exposure is essential to any quality photo. Exposure is the amount of light that is let into the camera which contributes to the photograph that is recorded.

In this tutorial, I will be introducing an unconventional way of printing known as "lumen printing". "Lumen" is understood as the projection of light radiating from one ominous source, i.e. sunlight, or UV light. This is particularly pertinent to this method of printing as it utilizes available light (daylight) as opposed to controlled light (enlarger exposure light, or the rapid on/off light when creating photograms) in order to print an image.

Let's talk about shooting when there is no light. Really, plenty of light is often available; it just takes a while to get enough of it to make a photograph. There are special challenges in photographing low-light situations, and the long shutter speed is just one of them. This article explores ways to achieve the best exposures when the light is low or seems to be missing completely. We'll be using examples ranging from landscapes and sunset scenes to cities and fireworks!

Learn about focus and exposure modes on your camera.

Zoom Photography is a form of a long-exposure shot where the focal length is changed during the exposure. This can result in some excellent images that help guide the eye and focus on your main subject.

Instructor Richard Harrington shows you how to use stacks in Aperture 2 to group images together, which is helpful when organizing several exposures.

Instructor Richard Harrington shows you how to adjust the exposure of an image using Aperture 2's exposure controls.

Instructor Richard Harrington shows you how to read Aperture 2's histograms, and use them to correct tone and adjust exposure.
