Exposure new link!

In the opening paragraphs he goes on about his back story in photography and he explains how hard it was for him to get the hang of using exposure correctly. He also goes on to say it wasn't until he understood the exposure setting that his photos became 'nice'. 

He then continues with his back story and how he had a hit and miss technique until someone showed him a 'simple trick that changed everything'. Basically, he never payed attention to his cameras viewfinder and this is what tells you where the "sweet spot" is. 

In the next paragraph he basically disclames the rest of the tutorial by stating the rest of the tutorial is for beginners. 

In the first section he explains exactly what it is which I already found out in the previous website. So I then skipped to the next section. 

In the next section it shows you a good little diagram of how to use your shutter speed. 1/200 for less lighted, darker images photos and 1/10 for more light, brighter images. He also uses the same sort of diagram for the aperture description f/11 for dark and f/1.2 for light. Note: the depth of field is larger when the aperture is at f/11 in comparison to f/3 and lower. 

The next section is labelled 'don't forget ISO' 

He explains how the ISO will effect the brightness of the image in conjunction to the quality. So basically the higher the ISO the brighter the image however, with increasing the ISO the colour noise increases as well, which doesn't give the photo as good of quality. Basically night time. high quality images, day time low quality images. (100-3200) 

The next sections about metering in the camera. It's basically verifying everthing he told you throughout the other sections and then gives you a diagram of what you will see on your viewfinder. And basically it tells you that the -2 to +2 exposure level indicator should never have exposure anywhere else but dead centre. 

Next section. 

Getting the perfect shot. 

For a indoor birthday party in the day time, you'd want let's say somewhere around 800 for your ISO, aperture to be at f/3 if possible if not lowest and your shutter speed to be 1/200 so you actually get a crisp photo of the movie people at the party. Then you look into your view finder to see what it says to do (only hold shoot button in half so it doesn't take a photo) it'll tell you that you need to change your shutter speed so using the eye piece (not the screen) you can see the shutter speed change as you move the wheel (on top of camera) left for the ELI to go right and same other way round. So to fix move it left until in centre of exposure level indicator (number line). 

Note: and less than 1/100 you may need a tripod to keep the photo steady. & if you are shooting with a flash you can have much lower shutter speeds as the flash will capture the motion in place. 

If shutter speed is to low to shoot try upping the ISO or lowering the focal length of lens allows.
