exposure
As we learn about exposure, we need to talk about shutter speed. Your camera’s shutter controls the duration of an exposure and is one of the three settings that determine the exposure of an image. Together, these settings are known as the exposure triangle.
Where aperture controls the amount of light we allow to reach our imaging area, it is the duration of our exposure that will directly influence whether an image is sharp or blurred. This is what makes it such a significant piece of the exposure puzzle. Now, let’s take a closer look
Photography is by definition, the capture of light on a light sensitive surface. That surface could be glass, tin, film, or a digital imaging sensor like those found in most modern cameras. The amount of light that reaches our light-sensitive surface is what we can define as exposure.
A good exposure will look accurate to life or the photographer's creative vision. It will maximize an images quality and
Aperture is one of the most significant settings in photography and also one of the first we should learn. It’s also one of the three settings collectively referred to as the exposure triangle that help to determine an image’s exposure.
Much like the iris of the human eye, a lens’s aperture opens and closes to control the amount of light reaching a light-sensitive imaging area. For this reason, the setting is
If you’ve been around photography for any length of time, you’ve probably heard of ISO. ISO is one of the three settings that determine our exposure in photography. These settings are collectively referred to as the exposure triangle. ISO is unique in this equation, and in this guide, we’re going to explore why.
ISO can be referred to in two ways. It’s most commonly spoken as an abbreviation, but it is also sometimes referred to as a word pronounced as eye-so. General consensus is that you call it whichever you like. After all, it’s not what

In this video, photographer David Flores shows us how to combine two or more images to create double exposures using our cameras' multiple-exposure mode. This video demonstrates the different ways the Canon, Sony, and Fujifilm cameras create multiple subjects, and how to use features such as blending modes to craft original and unique images.

Color grading is an essential part of the modern post-production workflow, especially with log gamma profiles and raw video recording more accessible than ever before. But for those new to the game, diving head-first into color grading can be a bit overwhelming. In the following video, Doug Guerra, from B&H, eases the processes by covering the basics, including the difference between color correction and color grading, required tools and software, and technical terminology, as well as some more theoretical considerations. We hope you enjoy
