My Beginner's Guide To The Exposure Triangle
The exposure triangle is the combination of three camera settings, aperture, shutter speed and ISO, used to get a correct exposure when taking a photo. The exposure triangle allows photographers to use a specific aperture or shutter speed for a photo and still get the correct exposure. The exposure triangle helps photographers get the correct exposure in challenging lighting conditions.
5 Practical Applications Of The Exposure Triangle
In this episode, I'm going to give you five practical examples of the exposure triangle. Apologies for repeating myself there. These examples tell you how to use the exposure triangle to correct a photo that is too light and one that is too dark. I also tell you how to use the exposure triangle to get a correct exposure with a faster and slower shutter speed. I'll tell you what I do as well.
You took a photo, but this is too dark. So what do you do?
You took a photo that is too light, here's what you do.
You want to make moving things blurry but get the exposure correct.
You want to freeze the action.

What Is The Exposure Triangle? (Revisited)
The exposure triangle is the combination of the camera shutter speed, aperture setting and ISO. The camera's shutter speed and the aperture setting control the amount of light that reaches the camera sensor when you take a photograph. The ISO controls the sensitivity of the camera sensor to light. When applied correctly, these settings will enable a correct exposure to be achieved.
The exposure triangle can be used creatively to take correctly exposed photos with different aperture, shutter speed, and ISO settings. The exposure triangle is also used to take photographs in challenging light conditions, and also for creative image capture.
