Understanding Exposure Settings

A photographer’s unique ability is to memorialize both the physical and emotional elements of a moment in time. Just like an artist works with paint, a photographer works with light.

How does a DSLR camera take pictures?

Your camera has a sensor that capturers light. And that sensor is hidden behind your camera’s shutter, which act like curtains keeping a room dark. When the shutter opens, light is revealed, or exposed, to the sensor, capturing the scene in front of your lens. That exposure data is simultaneously recorded as an image on your camera’s memory card.

Taking beautiful landscape photography pictures comes down to capturing a scene that is properly exposed.
