Named One of Shutterbug Magazines Top Digital Imaging Books of 2008! Capturing an image and getting the right exposure is critical and Jeff Wignall recognizes exposure as the secret for creating an image that captures a vision and shares it with the world. When you apply his techniques with patience, experimentation, and a focus on the outcome, you will begin creating images that reveal not only what you saw, but how you felt when you saw it. In fact according to Shutterbug magazine Exposure Photo Workshop “may be the best book yet written about exposure.” By learning to work with natural light as well as when to use flash you will confidently capture action, night scenes, rainbows, sunsets, and reflections like never before. With stunning images, Jeff Wignall shows you how to perfectly expose pictures in even the most challenging existing light conditions, including poor weather, using a flash, and even a section guiding you through using multiple wireless flash units. You can upload your own images to Photoworkshop.com and get feedback from other photographers. Wignall starts by explaining the fundamentals of exposure and why it’s important. This leads into learning the basics of exposure controls. By the end of chapter 2, you will know how to control the exposure on your point-and-shoot or digital SLR camera. Chapter 3 walks readers through measuring light using just about any light meter and Chapter 4 delves into lens apertures and depth of field. The focus moves to shutter speed and subject motion. After Chapter 6, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to turn off your camera’s automatic settings and take manual control. Wignall then examines natural light exposures, discussing the intricacies of light quality, light direction, and time of day. As you approach more advanced exposure options, you’ll need the troubleshooting advice provided in Chapter 8, covering difficult situations such as metering challenges, handling contrast, and creating dramatic silhouettes. With more advanced techniques mastered, you can then approach night and low-light conditions and then examine special considerations such as the weather and natural phenomena. The book finishes strong with a comprehensive look at all things flash photography.

Exposure yourself to the fantastic and unparalleled advice contained within the pages of Exposure Photo Workshop, Second Edition! From the Author: Top Five Exposure Tips Author Jeff Wignall 1. Avoid extreme contrast. Try to work early or late in the day, or on slightly overcast days to avoid contrast problems from harsh daylight. Digital-camera sensors can only record a limited contrast range and the gentler the light is, the more accurate your exposures will be. If possible, you can also move your subject to an area of open shade. 2. Shoot in RAW format. Use the RAW format if your camera offers that option. In the RAW format you can alter both exposure and color temperature (white balance) during the editing process. This means you can be off by a few stops in exposure and still correct the exposure in the original file. You can also fine-tune the white balance of the original file. RAW requires a few more steps in editing, but the effort is well rewarded. 3. Meter a middle-tone subject. Try to select a middle tone when you're metering and you'll get much more accurate exposures. Subjects that offer a natural middle town include green grass or foliage, clear blue skies and weathered barn wood. You can also carry an 18% gray card (available at photo stores) and meter from that: just place the card in the same light as your subject, meter it and then use that exposure setting. 4. Use fill-in flash for outdoor portraits. Portraits shot in bright daylight often have distracting shadows under the nose or below eyebrows. By turning on your built-in flash in daylight you can light open those shadows and still keep a natural-light look. Read your manual for tips on using fill-in flash. 5. Use a tripod. Using a tripod enables you to use the full range or reciprocal aperture and shutter-speed combinations. Yes, image-stabilization systems will help keep the camera steady with moderately slower shutter speeds, but won’t help much if you want to make a ten-second exposure of a waterfall or a twilight skyline. Placing your camera on a tripod also slows you down and gives you more time to consider exposure options. From the Author: Example Photos Shot with a 300mm Nikkor lens.
