Exposure



Chapter Thirteen




Correct (exposure) depends on three things i.e. *Aperture, Shutter speed and ISO* (Film speed). In photography, exposure is the total amount of light allowed to fall on the photographic medium (Photographic film or image sensor) during the process of taking a photograph. Exposure is measured in lux seconds, and can be computed from exposure value* (EV)* and scene luminance over a specified area.




In photographic terminology, an exposure generally refers to a single* (shutter cycle)*. For example: a long exposure refers to a single , protracted shutter cycle to capture enough 
*low-intensity* light,  whereas a multiple  exposure involves a series of relatively brief shutter cycles; effectively layering a series of photographs in one image. For the same film speed, the accumulated photometric exposure *(H)* should in both cases.


“Correct” exposure may be defined as an exposure that achieves the effect the photographer intended. The purpose of exposure adjustment (in combination with lighting adjustment) is to control the amount of light from the subject that is allowed to fall on the film, so that it falls into an appropriate region of the film’s characteristic curve and yields a “correct” or acceptable exposure.


Overexposure and Underexposure


A photograph may be described as overexposed when is has a loss of highlight detail, that is, when the bright part of an image are effectively all white, known as “blown out highlights” (or ”clipped whites”). A photograph may be described as underexposure when it has a loss of shadow detail, that is , the dark areas indistinguishable from black, known as “blocked up shadows” (or sometimes “crushed shadows”, “crushed blacks”, or “clipped blacks,” especially in video). As the image to the right shows, these terms are technical ones rather than artistic judgments; an overexposed or underexposed images may be “correct”, in that it provides the effect that the photographer intended.


Types of Exposure

There are three types of exposing, Bird Eye View, Human Eye View, Worm Eye View.

Bird Eye View
A Bird’s eye view is an oblique view of an object from above, with a perspective as though the observer were a bird, often used in the making of blueprints, floor plans and maps. 



Human Eye View

A Human Eye View is a view of an object from equal   
level or eye-to-eye level.   







Worm Eye View
A worm’s-eye-view is a view of an object from below, as though the observer were a worm; the opposite of a bird’s-eye-view. A worm’s eye view is used commonly for third perspective when you put one vanishing point on top one on the left and one on the right.
