Photography 101.4 – Exposure and Stops
Today, the fourth lesson in my Photography 101 series on Digital Photography School finally went live! Due to the turmoil that our lives were thrown into due to Naomi’s injury, it’s been difficult to find the time to put aside to do the full research, illustrating and writing needed for the Photo101 posts. As such it’s been a couple of months since lesson 3.
I hope the wait has been worth it. This lesson, I introduce exposure and the concept of the exposure triangle. Not only is this the first lesson with more practical aspects to it, but it is also very useful, discussing skills that will truly help you to start becoming a more effective photographer.
You can read Lesson 4: Exposure and Stops here.
If you’re new to the series, this is what we’ve covered so far:

Thanks to Darren Rowse of DPS for hosting this ongoing series.
Thank you so much for these lessons. I’m learning more about photography from gracious people like you on the internet than I could ever learn in a classroom. I can take things at my own pace and go back to reread whenever necessary. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your photography knowledge!!! I’m excited to have found your blog and will dig right in. :D
