Lesson 3 - Exposure Intro

Last night, we went over the compositional guidelines we learned last week and continued on with the last few:
- Direction of Movement
- Catchlights
- Framing
- Texture and Lighting

We did a short group exercise that involved analyzing the composition of select photos and presenting our views to the class. I was so pleased and impressed by your thoughtful analysis of each image. I hope you will continue to "train your eye" and composition before pressing the shutter release button.

After the break, we dove right into getting familiar with all the terms and concepts of exposure. We went over:
- The definition of exposure
- How your camera thinks
- Histograms
- Over and under exposure
- Dynamic range

So, your homework for this week is to use use use your Histogram. It is such a valuable tool!

And thanks to those of you who sent in your composition homework for last week. If you haven't sent yours in, it's not too late. Just email your compositionally best photo to oac@dolcepics.com ASAP.

I hope more of you will join in on our Critique Corner here on the blog. See you all next week!
