Photography Foundations: Exposure (part 2)

Arriving at the best exposure for a photo is part science and part art. In this course—the second and final installment in the Photography Foundations: Exposure series—Ben Long helps photographers expand their artistic options by giving them a deeper understanding of shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and other critical exposure practices. Here, Ben expands upon the basic concepts covered in the previous installment, taking an in-depth look at priority modes, manual mode, and depth of field. Learn how to assess your camera's high ISO options, how to shoot with post-production in mind, and more.
