How Light Works
• Light travels in straight lines• Light can be reflected• Light can be absorbed• Light can be refracted• Light can be filtered

Light can be reflected.The camera’s light meter reads the amount of light
reflected off of the subject.

• Exposure-the amount of light allowed to fall on the sensor.
• Proper exposure-correct combination of film speed, shutter speed, and aperture.
• The light meter suggests the combinations.• Film speed is the first factor
• The Histogram can help guide you to the proper exposure
• Bracketing is another method to ensure proper exposure.
Obtaining Proper Exposure

Histogram• Definition: A graph counting how many pixels
are at each level between white and black• Black=left, white=right• Used to evaluate exposure

Bracketing Exposures
Bracketing –taking 3 shots at 3 different aperture settings to ensure proper exposure.

Lighting Techniques
• Key Light- main light source (brightest light source)
• Fill Light- secondary light source (never as bright as key light)
• Main Lighting Positions– Side– Semi-front/semi-overhead– Back
