Exposure Control

Exposure Control  

For this Task we where asked to use bracketing to learn how the light meter in our camera works. For each Image I took 5 photos, one being the suggested exposure 2 under exposed and 2 over exposed, from them 5 photos I have chosen 3 to show for example in this post.  

First we had the fill the frame with all white, and expose the image how our camera was telling us to, and then bracket it up 2 stops and down 2 stops. From this I found that the white image turned grey and that it needed to be over exposed 2 stops in order for it to be white. 

 ISO: 800
F-Stop: 4.5
Shutter Speed: 1/25 

(Suggested Exposure) 

 

Shutter Speed: 1/100

 

Shutter Speed: 1/6 

Next we had to fill the frame with all black, for this I used my Ugg Boot!  Due to having to have the shutter speed so low there was some slight movement in the photo but as shown in the images the suggested photo once again is grey. To achieve a black photo I had to under expose the photo 2 stops.
