I had a question sent via DM on Instagram from agent called Nick.
Nick asked “ Rick, in terms of lighting for my little studio That’s 4m wide I’m thinking 1 to 2 citi 300 and 2 pika 200s. That should do it?”
In the video below I go over how I would approach this question and it may not be what you would think.
In this next part of the tutorial series and moving on from ISO and Shutter Speed we are going to be looking at aperture and the affect it has on exposure. Some of you may already be aware that aperture not only controls your available light exposure but also your flash exposure (This is true of ISO also) but we are not getting in to flash yet, more on that much later on this blog.
The reason I want you to concentrate on just available light exposure and the fundamental exposure triangle (ISO, Shutter Speed, Aperture) is because I want you to get this nailed down before you go learning flash or buying that new camera or lens. Walk before you Run.
Fuji X100 - ISO 640 , F10, 1/30th - Natural Light
Next up in the Exposure tutorial series is Shutter Speed, which is one of the more creative variables of exposure. I say this because it can be use not only to control the exposure of a photograph but it can help to tell a story by controlling how you capture motion/movement (more on that in later tutorials).
What is Shutter Speed? - Shutter speed is the amount of time that your camera shutter is open for (TV Time Value). The longer the amount of time your shutter is open for the brighter the exposure will become and the shorter the amount of time the darker.
