Camera modes fall into three categories, automatic modes, semi-automatic modes and manual mode. In manual mode you choose all the settings, in semi-automatic modes you choose one setting and the camera chooses the others and in automatic modes the camera chooses all the settings. The settings camera modes select determine the success of the image capture exposure.

Hi everybody. Welcome to Episode 30 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick McEvoy and I explain one photographic thing per episode in plain English in less that 10 minutes without the irrelevant detail. I have well over 30 years of experience in photography so I do know what I am talking about!

In this episode - What Have We Learned About Exposure?

Just a quick recap.

Exposure is the amount of light that reaches the camera sensor. The amount of light that reaches a camera sensor is controlled by the amount of time the shutter is open (shutter speed) and the amount of light that passes though the opening in the lens (aperture). The third part of exposure is the sensitivity of the camera sensor to light, which is determined by the ISO selected.

In this episode

Exposure compensation is a feature in cameras allowing you to quickly adjust the suggested camera settings to get a better exposure than would be achieved with the suggested camera settings. On a Canon DSLR this is done simply by rotating the quick control wheel on the back of the camera.

In this episode

What Is The Exposure Triangle?

This is my answer

The exposure triangle is the combination of the camera shutter speed and aperture setting which control the amount of light that reaches the camera sensor when you take a photograph, and the ISO. The ISO controls the sensitivity of the camera sensor to light. When applied correctly these settings will enable a correct exposure to be achieved.

Hi everybody. Welcome to Episode 26 of the Photography Explained podcast.

In this episode - What Does ISO Actually Stand For In Photography?

Here is my answer

ISO in photography refers to the sensitivity of your camera sensor to light. The higher the ISO number, the more sensitive your sensor is to light. The lower the ISO number, the less sensitive your sensor is to light. A low ISO setting is generally better than a high ISO setting. ISO is one of the three elements of the exposure triangle, the others being aperture and shutter.

In this episode - What does Shutter Mean In Photography?

Here is my answer

The shutter in a camera controls the amount of time the camera sensor is exposed to light. When you press the shutter release button the shutter raises and lets light into the sensor. You set the shutter speed which is the amount of time the shutter is open and the sensor is exposed to light.

In this episode - What Is Aperture In Photography?

Here is my answer

In photography, when we talk about the aperture we are referring to the opening in the camera lens through which light passes when you take a photo. The aperture, combined with the camera shutter, controls the amount of light that reaches the camera sensor when you take a photo.
