When you photograph, you are essentially making an exposure. Light enters your camera and hits the sensor, and the image is created. As simple as it sounds, there is a lot going on inside the camera when that process happens. This guide will teach you the concept of exposure triangle and how each of the three settings – aperture, shutter speed and ISO – affects a photograph.
Are your photographs coming out too dark or too bright to your liking? It could be that you’re not using the right metering mode or probably don’t understand how to use this setting best to nail the exposure in your shots. Metering is how your camera determines the exposure. This guide will take you through the different metering modes – spot, center-weighted, evaluative, and partial – and tell you when to utilize which one.
There are different types of lenses for different purposes. But how do you decide which one to choose for what use? Lenses can be costly so you need to know very well what you are going to use it for before buying one. This guide will help you understand lenses better – the different kinds, how they work, their construction, primes vs. zooms.
