Exposure

I recently took a series of photos, to find what exposure worked best in the environment I was taking the pictures.

This photo was taken with a shutter speed that was too slow, and the aperture was also too high. The lighting was too bright for the exposure which I set, so the image appears washed out and white.


I took this photo in the same lighting, but the shutter speed was too fast for the given aperture. This is why the photo appears so dark. It did not have a long enough exposure.

Finally, after taking the previous photos, one with an exposure that was too long and one that was too short, I set an aperture and shutter speed to accommodate the lighting. The result is the right exposure ( and therefor right shutter speed and aperture). This produced a clear and detailed image.
