A Review: Understanding Equivalent Exposures & why we need to understand them in Photography
Thomas Cook

Okay, now lets figure out equivalent exposures.

We ended up light metering: f/2.8 at 1/125

Its that simple! If you add in one area (Shutter Speed or the Apertures Lens Opening), you must then Subtract in the other area for Equivalent Exposures.

So, an Equivalent Exposure to f/2.8 at 1/125 Is: f/11 at 1/8.

Now in your notebook/ Binder, write as many Equivalent Exposures as you can come up with for:

f/2.8 at 1/125
Your list SHOULD look like this: F/2 at 1/250 F/1.4 at 1/500 F/4 at 1/60 F/5.6 at 1/30 F/8 at 1/15 F/11 at 1/8 F/16 at 1/4 F22 at 1/2

Now in your notebook/ Binder, write as many Equivalent Exposures as you can come up with for:

f/5.6 at 1/500
Your list SHOULD look like this: F/4 at 1/1000 F/8 at 1/250 F/11 at 1/125 F/16 at 1/60 F/22 at 1/30

Now in your notebook/ Binder, write as many Equivalent Exposures as you can come up with for:

f/11 at 1/30
Your list SHOULD look like this: F/16 at 1/15 F/22 at 1/250 F/8 at 1/60 F/5.6 at 1/125 F/4 at 1/250 F/2.8 at 1/500 F/2 at 1/1000

Final tip: Exposure Bracketing: Exposure Bracketing: The photographer chooses to take one picture at a given exposure, one or two brighter, and one or two darker, in order to select the most satisfactory image.

LAST, BUT NOT LEAST: A SHORT QUIZ IS ON BLACKBOARD (IN THE COURSE DOCUMENTS SECTION). PLEASE TAKE IT TONIGHT. I LABELED IT EXPOSURE.
