The document discusses the basics of photography, specifically exposure. It explains that the three components that control exposure are aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. Aperture controls the amount of light entering the camera by adjusting the size of the opening. Shutter speed determines how long the light is allowed to fall on the sensor, and is used for fast moving subjects or low light. ISO makes the sensor more or less sensitive to light and is increased in low light, but results in grainier images at higher levels. Together, these three elements must be balanced to achieve proper exposure in a photo.

Understanding Exposure Triangle in PhotographyAbhijit Ghosh
The exposure triangle is a common way of associating the three variables that determine the exposure of a photograph: Aperture, Shutter speed, and ISO. One must balance all three of these to achieve a desired result, an adjustment of one requiring adjustments of at least one of the others. They do not only affect exposure, but are also the largest determiners of the global appearance of an image; thus, their mastery is absolutely crucial both for technique and composition.
Objective:
1. To learn how to use the exposure triangle to set a correct exposure in your camera.
2. To learn about the link between ISO, shutter speed and aperture.
3. To learn what aperture is, and how to use it creatively.
4. To learn what shutter speed is, and how to produce blur or freeze motion photos.
5. To learn what ISO is, and how to prevent 'noisy' photos.
Target Audience: Photography Enthusiasts
Agenda:
• To understand Correct Photograhy Exposure.
• To understand the components of Exposure Triangle.
• To know how to balance all the three elements of Exposure Triangle to achieve a desired result.
• Understanding the purpose and value of exposure is a must for photographers, particularly beginners who are serious about developing their craft.
Expected Outcomes:
By the end of the ppt/pdf, the participants will be able to:
1) Better understanding of each of the three exposure settings, how they are measured, what they do, and how they interact.
2) Better equipped to manipulate the exposure of your images, as well as the artistic presentation of motion, depth of field, and digital noise.
3) Better control of the manual mode in camera.
2. Good Picture – Correct Exposure
Aperture
Controls the Amount of Light Entering the
Camera Through the Aperture or the Iris of the
Camera Lens and Falling on the Camera Sensor.
3. Good Picture – Correct Exposure
Exposure Controlled by 3 Components
Aperture
Shutter Speed
ISO
4. Good Picture – Correct Exposure
Aperture
The aperture of the camera behaves exactly in
the same way the iris of our eyes do.
When there is too much light the iris becomes
SMALL or closes up
When there is less light the iris enlarges or
OPENS UP
5. Good Picture – Correct Exposure
Aperture
Very Sunny - Small iris – Higher the Number
Low Light – iris opens up – Lower the Number
7. Composition/Framing – Depth of Field
• When the background is out of focus
• For 2 reasons
• The focus is on the object in the front
• And the Aperture is fully open, ie the light is
low or the light entering the camera is less
because of the settings you have chosen.
10. Good Picture – Correct Exposure
Shutter Speed
The Speed at which the Shutter of the Camera
Opens and Closes.
It controls the amount of time the light gets to
fall on/read by the sensor.
11. Good Picture – Correct Exposure
Shutter Speed
A High Shutter Speed is Used for
Fast Moving Subjects/Objects

17. For Example – if you speed up your shutter speed one stop (from 1/125th to 1/250th) you’re effectively letting
half as much light into your camera. To compensate for this, you’ll need to increase your aperture one stop
(from F16 to F11). The other alternative would be to choose a more light sensitive ISO.
Shutter Speed or any of the other variables of exposure cannot be used in isolation
The 3 Elements of Exposure
18. Good Picture – Correct Exposure
ISO
ISO helps the camera Sensor to be more or less
sensitive to light.
Usually a Higher ISO is used when the Light is
Low.
Note – Higher the ISO, grainier the picture.
21. The 3 Elements of Exposure
ISO
When Choosing the ISO setting ask yourself:
1. LIGHT – Is the subject well lit?
2. GRAIN – Do I want a grainy shot or one without noise?
3. TRIPOD – Am I using a tripod?
4. MOVING Subject – Is my subject moving or stationary?
1. If there is plenty of light,
2. I want little grain,
3. I’m using a tripod and
4. my subject is stationary –
I will use a lowISO rating.
Editor's Notes
What is ISO?– In film Photography, it is the indication of how sensitive a film is to light. You will see them on films (100,200,400,800 etc) The lower the number, the lower the sensitivity of the film and the finer grain in the shots.
- In Digital Photography, it measures the sensitivity of the image sensor. The lower the number, the less sensitive your camera is to light and the finer the grain. Higher ISO settings are used in darker situations, however the cost is a noisier shot.
100 ISO – is generally accepted as ‘normal’ and will give you lovely crisp shots (little noise/grain)
Most photographers tend to keep their digital cameras in ‘AUTO MODE’ where the camera selects the appropriate ISO setting depending upon the conditions you’re shooting in.
Some cameras give you an opportunity to override the camera, and allow you to choose your own ISO. This will impact upon the aperture and the shutter speed needed for a well exposed shot.
For example if you moved the ISO from a 100 to 400, you’ll notice that you can shoot at higher shutter speeds and/or smaller apertures.
