Three variables make up the exposure tripod and determine how much light reaches the camera sensor when making a photograph. If not enough light gets to the sensor, then the subject will be too dark. If too much light reaches the sensor, then the image can be too light. Working with ISO, Shutter Speed, and Aperture we can work with the light to obtain proper exposure. This is a critical skill in creating photographs. Learning how to expose a photo properly now will help you far into the future.
