Speaking Your Camera's Language: Aperture, shutter Speed, and ISO

Aperture series in one stop increments. As you go from left to right, each aperture is one stop smaller than the one before (and lets in half as much light). Going from right to left, the opposite is true. f/22 is one stop smaller than f/16. f/11 is two stops smaller than f/5.6. f/4 is two stops wider than f/8, and f/2 is two stops wider than f/4. Some very fast prime (single focal length lenses) will have a maximum aperture of f/1.4 or f/2

Why Is Exposure So Important?

This is a properly exposed photo of a Gretag-Macbeth ColorChecker with the individual color patches labeled. Taking control of exposure will give you the best possible colors your camera is capable of producing.

Why Is Exposure So Important?

Your camera doesn't know that you want the background behind your flower to be a totally soft blur, or that you want your landscape to be sharp from right in front of your lens to the distant horizon. All of these artistic decisions are created by exposure choices. Artistically, your camera is clueless. Your vision won't become a reality unless you take control of exposure

Why Is Exposure So Important?

This is second row of color patches from the above three exposures. You can see how the colors have shifted. The orange patch on the left turns yellow when overexposed and red when underexposed. It is virtually impossible to use software to do both an exposure correction and a color correction for every individual color in a photograph. If you correct for one color, you will throw the other colors even farther off.
