Master the Exposure Triangle in 15 Minutes: Shutter Speed, ISO, & Aperture Explained
In this video, I’ll explain the exposure triangle—aperture, shutter speed, and ISO—and how they work together to create perfectly exposed photos. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned photographer looking to brush up on your fundamentals, this tutorial will help you master manual exposure settings in under 15 minutes.
By the end of this video, you’ll understand how to control depth of field, freeze motion, and achieve sharp, properly exposed images in any lighting conditions. I’ll also walk you through common challenges, like balancing ISO, shutter speed, and aperture in different scenarios, including shooting outdoors in bright sunlight.
