Lesson 6 - Exposure Review

We had a ball in last night's class when the light's went on and we were able to shoot in manual mode! Now, shooting comfortably in manual takes a long time and a lot of practice. Reading your meter, compensating for the scene and dialing in your settings takes patience but once you get accustomed to setting your exposure this way, you'll get faster and faster at it.

We also had our first Pop Quiz! Everyone did very well tacking those questions and really taking the time to think about exposure.

Here's another sample question for you to try:

My current settings are aperture f/8, shutter speed 1/60, and ISO 800. But I find my shutter speed a bit slow by one stop. How will you fix that while maintaining the same exposure?

There are several possible answers. Post your version in the comments below! Anyone can answer!

I'll post another one in a couple days.
