Exposed the essentials of capturing the light just right
In its purest form, photography is the act of capturing light reflected from a scene or object onto a light-sensitive sensor. Exposure is controlling that light. Alan Hess shows you dozens of ways to do it, with shutter speed, aperture, metering modes, ISO, your camera´s exposure modes, flash, and an essential awareness of the light. And because this guide applies those techniques to actual shooting situations, you´ll want to take it with you on every shoot.
