EXPOSURE exposure = time X intensity Shutter speed = time for light to enter and also time for motion to blur ss 60, for example, = 1/60 second shutter curtains open and close Aperture = size of opening in diaphragm controls amount of light entering, intensity also influences depth of field indicated by f stop, f 16 for example
APERTURE F stop = aperture / focal length =fixed amount of light Different aperture size for different lenses “F” for focal ratio “Stop” for discrete setting on an adjustment dial Inverse square law for area of circle 1.4 squared = 2 ½ or 2X as much light with each change of 1 stop 1.4 2 2.8 4 5.6 8 11 16 22 “stop down”
A balance of shutter speed and aperture provides the “right” amount of light. (The “right amount is determined by the available light and the ISO.) For any given situation, there are a number of possible combinations. overexposure underexposure

Overexposure/underexposure Some manipulation is possible after shooting; but details can be lost in overexposure when using a digital camera or print film. Details can be lost in underexposure when using slide film. Exposure is a series of compromises!
Exposure Histograms Use it to judge whether the exposure is correct for your image. No. of pixels at each brightness level
Exposure pitfalls: backlighting

Exposure compensation +/- You can force your camera to overexpose or underexpose while on automatic exposure setting. underexposure - 1.0
How much control do you want? Automatic exposure modes
