About Exposure
1/3: Nature and distribution
2/3: Inputs and Dependent features
3/3: Judgement and Control
After understanding the various components that lead to the formation of exposure of an image, this chapter basically covers the need to understand the methodology (not the sense of aesthetics) of how to judge and review if your exposure is insufficient, adequate or excessive. Invariably, the judgement made on the 1st shot will lead to further adjustment in the control of exposure by controlling the reference (metering and exposure compensation), the input factors (filters and flash) and the output data (post processing, including HDR).
Summary: Judgement and Control
1. Judgement of exposure
1.1 Overview: Judgement avenues for correct exposure
1.2 Making fast estimate of correct exposure
1.3 Deciding exposure by experience and photography rules
1.4 Deciding exposure by metering
1.5 Feedback avenues of exposure
1.6 Reviewing by eventual output
1.7 Reviewing by LCD screen
1.8 Reviewing by histogram
2. Adjustment of exposure
2.1 Adjustment of exposure
2.2 Exposure compensation
2.3 Why do I need to do exposure compensation?
2.4 Exposure/Exposure compensation indicator
2.5 Setting desired exposure compensation and checking the set value
2.6 How should I go about adjusting the exposure compensation
2.7 Exposure compensation in a dark scene
2.8 Exposure compensation in a bright scene
2.9 Auto-bracketing function
3. TTL Metering
3.1 What is TTL?
3.2 Use of metering in different exposure modes
3.3 Concept of exposure shift and sampling area
3.4 Metering modes based on sampling area
3.5 Spot metering for fine control
4. Control and adjustment of exposure outside the camera
4.1 What is available to control exposure inside and outside of the camera?
4.2 Flash & studio equipments
4.3 The concept of strong light intensity situations
4.4 Exposure controlling filters
4.5 Neutral Density Filters
4.6 Polarizer Filters
5. Regional balancing of exposure
5.1 Handling frames of wide tonal discrepancy
5.2 Filling in softened light: bounce cards and diffusers
5.3 Graduated Neutral Density (GND) filter
5.4 HDR techniques
5.5 Good HDR versus controversial HDR application
5.6 Poor attributes or adverse effects in non manual HDR rendering
