Exposure Basics: Correctly Expose Your Photographs

I went looking on the internet for an appropriate article that would fit the current unit of analyzing photographs. While looking, I stubbled into a website dedicated to photography, photo.net, and found many helpful articles. The article I picked out was dedicated to photograph exposure and shutter speed. The author, Bryan F. Peterson, elaborated on how a myriad of different effects can be acheived based on the amount of light and the shutter speed used by the camera. He then moved on to talk about how a photographer can use faster shutter speeds to capture motion shots in great detail, and how the use of a low shutter speed can create interesting streaks in the photo. After talking about both ends of the spectrum, the author points out the positives and negatives of both. I found this all very interesting, and I hope people will be able to take advantage of the advice listed in the article.

I think this is one of the most interesting aspects of photography today. If we had told the original photographers that we would be able to capture the swing of a bat precisely. They would have not even considered that to be a possibility. I don't know if you remember the 5th grade trip to Concordia, but one of the electives we could take part in was a photography class and this was one of the aspects we focused on.
