Exposure for dummies
Gadling, one of my favorite travel blogs, realized that people have a “nasty” habit of taking photos while traveling, probably from looking at huge amount of pictures available at their Flickr group’s public photo pool. What they may have also realized is that some of them aren’t that good, and it’s always heartbreaking to see fabulous places shown in boring photos.
Whatever the reason may be, the guys at Gadling started a new series, entitled Through the Lens, where the basics of photography are explained in a simple way, specially target for backpackers with almost no camera skills. Their latest entry is dedicated to the simple concept of exposure, or how shutter speed and aperture diameter affect the amount of light that goes inside the camera and how a funny thing called ISO allows me to take photos with low light.
PS- With the valuable lesson you may even get a Photo Of The Day.
