Exposure fundamentals, the 'Exposure Triangle'
Get out of the Auto mode and learn about exposure using the so-called Exposure Triangle
The Exposure Triangle explains how the individual aspects of exposure, i.e aperture, shutter speed and ISO, affect the final exposure and look of the photo.It's a useful way of describing the relationship between the three aspects of exposure. Each corner of the triangle represents one of the three variables, aperture, shutter speed and ISO. Adjusting just one of these could change the appearance of the photo, or might make the image lighter or darker, depending on the current exposure mode.
Lens apertures, learn about one of the most important camera settings
The lens aperture controls the amount of light entering through the lens, and also controls the depth of field. It's not really complicated, so don't be put off by the weird numbering and the back to front system!
There's no doubt that with a good understanding of apertures you'll see an improvement in your photos.
The basics of Shutter Speed
What's a shutter and what is 'shutter speed'
Very basically, shutter speed is the amount of time that the shutter is open. In film photography it was the length of time that the film was exposed to the scene you’re photographing, but similarly in digital photography shutter speed is the length of time that your image sensor ‘sees’ the scene you’re attempting to capture.
Bear in mind that it's not usually a good idea to think about exposure and Shutter Speed in isolation from the other two elements of the Exposure Triangle (aperture and ISO). As you change shutter speed the camera will (in any of the auto modes) automatically change one or both of the other elements to compensate for it.
The ISO setting, what is it and just what is if for?
The ISO setting is very important, especially if you want take photos indoors, or if the light is failing outside, and that's because the higher ISO values on your camera will allow you to take photos in much lower light.This video explains what it is, why you need to understand it, and how to change the ISO settings on your camera.
Using Exposure Compensation to brighten or darken your subject.
Ever had your photos come out too light or too dark?
If so, congratulations, you've just fooled your camera's metering system!!Too much brightness in a scene can cause and image to be too dark. Weird eh? You'd think it would be the other way around!This lecture shows the problem in more detail and describes how the simple exposure compensation setting can be used to brighten or darken your pictures.

The basics of Shutter Speed
What's a shutter and what is 'shutter speed'
Very basically, shutter speed is the amount of time that the shutter is open. In film photography it was the length of time that the film was exposed to the scene you’re photographing, but similarly in digital photography shutter speed is the length of time that your image sensor ‘sees’ the scene you’re attempting to capture.
Bear in mind that it's not usually a good idea to think about exposure and Shutter Speed in isolation from the other two elements of the Exposure Triangle (aperture and ISO). As you change shutter speed the camera will (in any of the auto modes) automatically change one or both of the other elements to compensate for it.
