How do you share your photos? When I started in photography there weren’t many options – I created slide shows for my family and put prints in photo albums (a couple went up on the wall as well); a limited following by any standard. Fast-forward to 2012 and there is an unprecedentedly vast audience, most of it online, hungry to consume new imagery. That opens fantastic opportunities for sharing your work.

If you’ve never used Manual mode on your camera before you may wonder why anybody would use it instead of one of the automatic exposure modes. Most of the time I only use one of three exposure modes on my camera – Aperture Priority (Av), Shutter Priority (Tv) or Manual (M). In this article I’m going to explore why and explain in which situations I would use each one.

Exposure is fundamental to the process of creating a good quality image. The reason for this is quite simple, as I’m sure many digital SLR camera users are aware. If you underexpose the image you lose shadow detail and raise noise levels, and on the other hand, if you overexpose the image you burn out the highlights. This makes exposure a delicate balancing act. The reward, if you can master exposure, is that you’ve mastered one of the building blocks of photographic technique and one of the keys to creating images of high quality.

Regular readers will have noticed that it’s been a bit quiet around here lately. I’ve had a busy few weeks – we’ve moved back to New Zealand after spending six months in Shanghai and are looking for a new place to live, I’m working on three new eBooks at the same time, plus my other work commitments. I’m also planning a new series of articles for this blog called Inside EOS – all about how to get the best out of your EOS camera. I’m going to expand the range of EOS specific eBooks that are available on this website (Understanding DPP is the first) and the Inside EOS articles will be a complimentary resource.

Craft & Vision have just released Exposure for Outdoor Photography, a new eBook by Michael Frye (the author of Light and Land). This one’s all about exposure (you might have guessed that already) and, more pertinently, how to take well exposed photos.
