Thursday Thoughts

The 7th of February Edition

So this week we learned about - and refreshed our memories about - EXPOSURE.
Especially today.
Today we wen over Exposure Compensation.

According to Nikon:
"Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value selected by the camera, making photographs brighter or darker.
In modes P, S, and A, the camera automatically adjusts settings for optimal exposure, but this may not always produce the exposure the photographer intended. Exposure is a matter of personal preference, and an exposure brighter or darker than that selected by the camera may sometimes better reflect the photographer’s intent. The feature used in such situations is called exposure compensation. Digital SLR cameras allow you to check the results immediately, so you can take a photograph, display it in the monitor, and then raise exposure compensation for brighter results or lower exposure compensation for darker results and take another picture."
So yeah. Exposure Compensation is an important factor for a photographer's choices of places to shoot and how to keep shooting everywhere you go.
Sadly, Joelle, Lizzy, and I could only shoot for about 10 minutes since our camera's battery became exhausted.
