Sometimes it’s not until you don’t see what you want to see, that you truly open your eyes.

Don't be scared of Fred!!! When your camera
was designed they took idiots like us into mind!!

Now relax,.........

Exposure is governed by three factors, namely

1 Volume(F stop),
2 time(shutter speed) and
3 sensitivity (ISO)!!!

A formula for what would be a perfect exposure!!!
This formula can be dragged along wherever you go
in manual mode!! It is applicable in any type of light
condition. It all reads very complex however try this
test in differing light conditions and soon you will
realize a control!!

Any alteration off only one from above will have a
profound effect on the other two!! Try a gentle shift
from full sunlight to setting sun conditions. Lower
light conditions and repeat the process!!

Some basics here,-

1. By altering your F stop, one full stop,
up or down, you are either halving or
doubling volume of light passing through
your lens.

2. By altering your exposure time, it will
have the same effect, incremented!!!
.60th sec >,125th sec >, 250th and so on!!,

basically halving or doubling the exposure
effect!! Only that other time settings were
added for fine tune exposure!!!! Got that

Now relax X#X

Try this action in differing light conditions and soon
you will realize that you need to up your ISO sensitivity
situation!!, depending????
