The document discusses exposure in photography. It defines exposure as the amount of light that reaches the film or sensor, which is determined by aperture and shutter speed settings. It encourages photographers to understand and take control of exposure settings in order to isolate subjects, show motion, freeze action, and create balanced, repeatable results rather than relying on luck. Aperture, shutter speed, and ISO settings allow photographers to be creative and tell stories with their photos.

Part 1 - Introduction

2. Idea

3. What is exposure?

4. Defined
The exposure is the amount of light received
by the film or sensor and is determined by
how wide you open the lens diaphragm
(aperture) and by how long you keep the
film or sensor exposed (shutterspeed). The
effect an exposure has depends on the
sensitivity of the film or sensor.
