Week Three Overview

Exposure in any given situation depends on:
-ISO (International Standards Organisation) rating
-Subject lighting
-Subject reflectance
-Personal preferance

Doubling of the ISO rating = Double the sensitivity

Eg. ISO200 requires 1/125 @ f8
ISO400 requires 1/250 @ f8 or 1/125 @ f11

High ISO = image degeneration / grain(film) / noise(digital)

Rule of thumb = use the lowest possible ISO in a situation

To prevent camera shake, use a shutter speed that is at least double the value of the focal length.
