Arriving at the best exposure for a photo is part science and part art. In Foundations of Photography: Exposure, Ben Long helps photographers expand their artistic options by giving them a deep understanding of shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and all other critical exposure practices. This course covers the basic exposure controls provided by all digital SLR cameras, as well as most advanced point-and-shoot models. Learn how to master a camera's metering modes, how to use exposure compensation and bracketing, and much more. By the end of the course, you'll know how to develop an "exposure strategy" that will allow you to effectively employ your exposure knowledge in any shooting situation.
1. Introduction Welcome What is exposure? A word about camera brands
2. Exposure Fundamentals What is a camera? The shutter The aperture Exposure defined
3. Camera Anatomy Modes Pressing the shutter button Autofocus Light metering White balance
4. Shutter Speed Fundamentals Shooting sharp images Noting shutter speed Exercise: Shutter speed Taking control of shutter speed Stop defined Shutter priority mode Reciprocity Controlling motion Shutter speed increments Exercise: Go work with shutter speed
5. Aperture in Depth Depth of field How aperture is measured Aperture priority mode Lens speed Shooting deep depth of field Shooting shallow depth of field The depth-of-field preview button How shallow should you be? Exercise: Go work with aperture
6. Working with ISO ISO: The third exposure parameter Assessing your camera's high ISO Shooting in low light Exercise: Shooting in low light
7. White Balance White balance controls Adjusting white balance manually Shooting raw
8. Metering Modes How light meters work Why are there different modes?
9. Exposure Compensation Exposure compensation Intentional overexposure Intentional underexposure Controlling tone The histogram Real-world histograms Tone and color Auto exposure bracketing Exercise: Go work with exposure compensation
10. Dynamic Range Dynamic range Exposing for highlights Fill flash Three solutions to the same problem
12. Advanced Program Mode Custom modes and A-DEP Program shift Exposure compensation with program shift An exercise in reciprocity Scene modes and in-camera processing
13. Conclusion Shooting with post production in mind Exposure strategy Goodbye
