Correct Exposure
What REALLY is “Correct Exposure”?
A General Photography Presentation by Joe Edelman
“Who needs a triangle? Choose your shutter speed with purpose and your aperture with feeling, then adjust the brightness with ISO.” — Joe Edelman
Forget about the Exposure Triangle and Histograms!
In the era of digital mirrorless technology, the rules have changed, and the old guidelines no longer apply. Our technology has changed dramatically in the last twenty years, but the way we think and talk about exposure has not kept up.
Join me on an enlightening journey through the evolving world of photography, where the Exposure Triangle is a thing of the past, and Histograms are an exception, not a rule.
Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO are vital controls that shape every image. But how do you really determine the correct exposure? With camera technology evolving at a breakneck pace, isn’t it time we evolve our understanding too?
I will demystify the complex relationships between Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO. I will share tips to help you achieve consistent exposures that unlock your camera’s true potential and create images that leap off the screen with dazzling quality.
This isn’t your old-school shoot manual in manual lecture; it’s a cutting-edge exploration tailored to the modern photographer. This is exposure for digital mirrorless cameras – the way they were designed to REALLY work.
Here’s what you’ll walk away with:
Understanding the New Age of Correct Exposure: Forget the old rules; embrace the techniques that work in today’s digital world.
Mastering the Core Controls: Delve into the essential relationships between Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO for top-notch image quality.
Breaking Free from the Exposure Triangle: Discover why it’s time to let go of outdated concepts and adopt new approaches.
Ignoring the Histogram with Confidence: Learn why the Histogram no longer dictates your exposure choices.
Solving Problems, Not Following Trends: Understand that exposing to the left or right is not a technique but a tailored solution to specific challenges.
. . .and much more!
WARNING If you’re still clinging to the old ways, prepare to have your perspective revolutionized! Embrace the future of photography with me and take your skills to unparalleled heights.
