learning to use exposure compensation



      One of the things we learned this week was how to control exposure compensation. I took three photos of the end of a banister in a stairway with three different exposure compensations. Exposure compensation is the change of the amount of light used in a photo.The higher the exposure compensation number, the brighter the photo. I found this out when I took a photo in three different exposure compensations. The way you use exposure compensation can completely change the way your photo looks.

       I took photos in a stairway, of the end of a banister. I took the first photo in high exposure, 1.00, compensation and the photo came out to bright. Then I took the same photo, but in normal, 0.00 exposure compensation and it was still a little bit to bright. Then I took a photo in a lower exposure compensation, -1.00, and it came out just as I wanted it. The photo I took of the banister in low compensation, -1.00, had the best amount of light.
