Obviously, in order to capture a photograph, we need to have a light source to illuminate the subject. Depending on the kind of light you have available, however, its colour can vary quite dramatically. Some lights, like light bulbs and candles, look distinctly yellow, whereas others, such as the brilliant spotlights used to illuminate car parks at night, look very blue by comparison. The way we describe this colour is, somewhat confusingly, referred to as temperature.

Just as the position of the light affects the mood of the photo, so does it affect its shape. In typical photographs, we are unable to see three-dimensional depth, as the same image is presented to both eyes. The brain is able to work out the three-dimensional shape of an object, however, by looking at where and how the shadows fall on the object.

Ultimately, everything involved in obtaining the correct exposure comes down to the three values of the exposure triangle: aperture, shutter and ISO. In a beautiful instance of symmetry at the other end of the process, your photos end up comprising three further variables: Red, Green and Blue.
