LAPC #224: Exposure

This week, Sofia leads the “Exposure” theme for us to exercise another photography technique.

Overexposure leads to overexposed highlights, and often, it can create interesting faded-looking images.

Shutter speed is the amount of time that the camera’s shutter is open. If there’s less light, you may want to using slow shutter speed. The image blow was captured at 1/8 second:

The image of the Grand Central Station, NYC is captured with 2 seconds:

HDR (high dynamic range) allows us to capture the subject between the lightest light and darkest dark in different levels, then, process them through Photoshop. I set three different levels for this one:

Here is the result:

I often rely on aperture or shutter speed priority, hope to get a good result. I do need to pay more attention to exposure. Sofia gives us an excellent leason and provides comparisons with wonderful explanation, “use shutter speed to change the exposure balance when shooting. You can also play with aperture. Or you can have fun changing the exposure settings while editing.” Click here to learn more. We hope you will join us and share your exprience and techniques.

Many thanks to Johnbo’s Flights of Fancy. It was fun and inspiring theme for all of us to explore. Thank you for participating and sharing your stories and photos.

Next week is Anne’s (Slow Shutter Speed) turn to host so please visit her site.
