Welcome back.

In the next couple of lessons, we're going
to take a look at adjusting exposure.

But first, we're going to explore exposure
is so when we're talking about exposure,

we're talking essentially
how bright or dark a shot is.

But it's a little bit more than that.

It's not just the brightness

or the darkness of a shot, but
it's actually the quality of the detail

that is presented in the image,
which comes from a couple of things.

How sensitive is the camera and how much
light is being let into the sensor?

This image on the left,
we would probably consider underexposed.

You can still see some detail in the skin
here,

but it's so dark
that things don't really seem normal.

And unless you have a really specific
reason for having the shot look this way,

generally not what you would want.

On the other side, we have an example
of an overexposed image.

This is an image that is so bright
that everything just kind of turns white.

You don't really see any detail back here
on the ground.

You can't really even tell where she is.

I assume maybe at the beach or something.

But I can't really tell if this is sand
or water or what's going on.

We're losing

a lot of detail up in the hair
and things are just generally too bright.

Again, there might be reasons
why you would want to do this.

This does kind of give you a certain
kind of dreamy feel,

but for the majority of your shots,
you probably don't want it this bright.

And that brings us to the middle,
which is really nice exposure.

The skin tones look normal.

The subject,
the lady here is nice and bright.

It's very easy to see what's going on.

The colors look pleasing. Background.

Other things that we don't really want
to focus on are significantly darker.

This is good exposure.

And again, just like a lot of the concepts
that we're going to be looking

at in this training,

this isn't a hard and fast rule

that you always want your exposure
to look something like this in the middle.

But generally, if you don't have a reason,
maybe that the story calls for

or a certain feeling
that you're trying to get across a well

exposed image should look the most
like what we have here in the middle.
