Notes 5.13.2014

Exposure is the amount of controlled light that enters the camera

ISO is the sensitivity of the sensor
Low ISO= High quality
High ISO= shoot photos in very low light, the quality of the photo goes down, the sensitivity is very high

Shutter Speed is our gate speed, the longer the gate is open, the more chickens go out. AKA the longer the seconds for shutter speed, the more light goes in.
8=1/8 of a second
4=1/4 of a second
2= half a second
1"= 1 second
2"= 2 seconds

Aperture is an opening, or a hole
Large=small number
Small= large number

Aperture and shutter speed need to be balanced, one needs to be high while the other is low and vice versa


Lightroom-
Step 1
Adjust your exposure. If you have to change exposure tremendously than your photo is a turd. Good exposure when shooting will help you with post rendering. Anymore than + or - 1 might be polishing

SEE.THINK.FEEL. Learn to trust your instincts

Adjust your black. Set your black point.
