Hello! Today, we are going to cover the first component of the Exposure Triangle: Shutter Speed. You may remember from our previous lesson that the exposure triangle refers to the three primary settings that control how your camera handles light. Understanding these components is vital to learning how to move away from the auto setting and into manual. Not to worry,…

As you remember to obtain proper exposure you must balance shutter speed, aperture, and ISO together letting in more or less light to achieve your desired affect.
