When you take photographs, you want a properly exposed image. Technology has advanced so far that in most cases the camera gets this right automatically. Sometimes it gets it wrong and the exposure is inadequate. Knowing how to set exposure on a camera is therefore fundamental to photography. This book is about controlling the amount of light that reaches the sensor or film.
Professional photographer and instructor Nando Harmsen explains how light can be measured and how to adjust the exposure accordingly. Using numerous photographs and illustrations, he shows you how to assess and manipulate an exposure.
You will learn the best camera settings, how to work with the exposure triangle, how to use the histogram, and how to achieve a perfectly exposed photo in any lighting situation.
The fundamentals covered comprehensively yet simply in this book apply to every camera. It does not matter whether your camera costs a few hundred euros or tens of thousands of euros, or whether you photograph with a smartphone or a DSLR.
Everything is explained clearly, with the help of many breathtaking photographs, examples, charts, and diagrams. Each section ends with a number of exercises so you can put the material into practice.
Good to know: after purchasing the book, you also receive free access to the web version.
