Exposure // Features

In photography, exposure is the total amount of light allowed to reach the electronic sensor during the process of taking a photograph. The two main control your digital camera uses to control exposure are shutter speed and aperture.

This is an important aspect of photography because exposure defines how well lit your image is. Exposure links to shutter speed and aperture, as they control it.

Images can either be under exposed, over exposed or correctly exposed. These make quite a difference in the final result of an image, as seen below.
