Understanding the Exposure Triangle Photography Dustin Banyai
Exposure Triangle Includes three settings • aperture • shutter Speed • ISO
Aperture Controls how wide the lens opens • Controls how much of the photo is in focus • large aperture= small focus area • small aperture= large focus area Changing focus area can give the photo a sense of depth
Shutter Speed Controls how long lens stays open • Slow shutter speeds blur motion • creates sense of movement • Fast shutter speeds freeze motion • captures detail
ISO Increases light sensitivity • Lets us use faster shutter speeds in dark rooms • Image quality decreases as ISO increases Image noise is preferable to an underexposed photo
Exposure How much light the camera takes in • Underexposed photos lose detail in dark areas • Overexposed photos lose detail in light areas • Properly exposed photos show detail evenly
Exposure Triangle Each setting effects how much light camera takes in • When increasing shutter speed you have to increase aperture • When decreasing shutter speed you have to decrease aperture • When increasing ISO you need to decrease shutter speed and aperture.
