国外权威摄影杂志：The Ultimate Beginner’s Introduction to Exposure.docVIP

oday we’ll be walking through the concept of exposure, right from the beginning. This article won’t befuddle you with complicated numbers and jargon, but it will help you feel more confident with your photography and understand a core concept that’s a vital piece of the photography jigsaw. Preface I believe there are three different types of photographers: technical, artistic, and those that have good artistic vision and combines technical knowledge to achieve that vision. None is right or wrong. All are just different in approach and execution. The first photographer I ever mentored was an amazingly artistic woman. She had a knack for seeing things like no-one had ever seen. She was also a voracious learner and she asked me for help on the technical side of things to make herself better. I started spouting all the numbers, all the theories, and all the science. The response? “Whoa, My mind doesn’t think that way”. And she was right. People who are very artistic think differently, their brains compute things differently than someone that thinks more analytically and scientifically. I needed to change my teaching methods to fit the way she thinks. So that is what I will do with this article – explain the technology without the math and numbers and theories. By the way, that student is now one of the top portrait photographers in her state (heck, I think everywhere) and I couldn’t be more proud of her. She inspires me every day. The Triangle of Exposure There are three main ingredients to good exposure: Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO. Okay, yes I said no math, but I will use a bit of geometry to illustrate the effect that the three components of exposure have on each other. I am certainly not the first to think of this as a triangle but I do think it is the best representation Think of a perfect exposure as a perfect triangle – all the angles are equal, all the sides are equal. Now if you change just one part of that exposure or triangle, it is no longer perfect so
