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.
