Exposure Notes/Examples

Exposure: Exposure is the amount of  light allowed into the camera.
-A properly exposed photo combines a number of elements.
Including:
ISOISO measures the sensitivity of the image sensor– the lower the number the less sensitive your camera is to light and the finer the grain.

Aperture: The size of the opening  of the lens when a picture is taken.

Shutter Speed:The amount of time the shutter is open.

Lighting Notes

1.) Broad Lighting: Broad lighting is when the subject’s face is slightly turned away from the center, and the side of the face which is toward the camera is in the light. This produces a larger area of light on the face, and a shadow side which appears smaller.
 
2.) Butterfly Lighting: Butterfly Lighting creates a butterfly shaped shadow under the nose by placing the main light source above and directly behind the camera.
 
3) Loop Lighting: Loop lighting is made by creating a small shadow of the subjects noses on their cheeks. To create loop lighting, the light source must be slightly higher than eye level and about 30-45 degrees from the camera.
