Episode 71: The Exposure Square

Jeff Carlson & Kirk McElhearn — Fri, 03 Jul 2020 00:00:00 -0700

You may be familiar with the Exposure Triangle for determining exposure in photos, which is made up of ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. In this episode, Kirk explains that it's actually an Exposure Square we need to consider. We also discover the limits of Jeff's knowledge of film photography terms, since his photographic experience is almost entirely digital.
