Exposure Triangle

The document discusses the exposure triangle, which balances three camera functions - ISO, f-stop, and shutter speed - to achieve proper exposure. It explains that changing one point of the triangle requires adjusting another point in the opposite direction to maintain the same exposure. An example demonstrates how increasing shutter speed to freeze motion requires decreasing the f-stop by the same amount to keep exposure balanced.

FULL SUN - OUTSIDE

Initial camera setting: Situation: Improved camera setting,


ISO: 100 Subject is fast moving, as per the exposure triangle:
you need to increase the ISO: 100 | No change
Shutter Speed: 1/125 shutter speed to get a
f/stop: f/16 sharp image. Shutter Speed: 1/500 Move two stops up
f/stop: f/8 Move two stops down
