Lesson 5 - Aperture, Shutter Speed & ISO

In our last class, we tackled the triangle of exposure head on!

We came to understand what the aperture, shutter speed and ISO are and what happens when we adjust them. It will take time to become completely familiar with how they work together to set an exposure so don't worry if you don't feel all that comfortable with the trio yet.

Check out the links on the left hand menu to more tutorials on these subjects. Read it over and over again until you get it. Then practice practice practice. Read your manual to figure out how to change those settings as it's different for every camera.

You were introduced to shutter priority mode and aperture priority mode. Next class we will go over all these concepts again and delve into setting your exposure manually. It's really not as difficult as it may sound!

We also brought up our plans for a gallery showing of our prints at the end of the session. Our last class is Nov. 26th so the gallery showing will be on Dec. 3rd. You have a month to shoot like crazy and choose your very best images for the show.

In the next couple of classes, we will start looking at post processing as well, which will give your images that extra kick.

See you all again soon!
