What You’ll Learn:

The exposure triangle (ISO, aperture, shutter speed) controls photo brightness and artistic style.
Each element is connected, and changes in one require thoughtful adjustments to the others.
Mistakes are part of the learning process—experimenting and “tasting” your results is essential.
Practical, easy-to-remember ISO settings based on different lighting scenarios are provided, along with advice on aperture and shutter speed choices.
