Fix Bright Photos In Manual Mode - 3 Ways You Can Get Better Exposure

Fix Bright Images In Manual Mode - 3 Ways You Can Get Better Exposure will show you how to fix bright photos and start getting images you are proud of when using manual mode. The first way to bring down your exposure is to use a faster shutter speed. The shutter in your camera plays a game of peek-a-boo with the light. When you press the shutter button, it opens up and exposes the sensor to the light. Naturally, the faster the shutter does this, the less time your sensor will be exposed to light and therefore, your photo will be darker. The next choice we have for bringing down the exposure of our image is ISO. The higher your ISO number, the brighter your images will be and the lower the number, the darker it will be. The 3rd setting we can change to bring down the brightness of our photo is the Aperture. The Aperture is the opening in the lens that lets light through to your camera’s sensor. If you have a small opening, less light gets in, and if you have a large opening, more light will get in. Now with the aperture, the smaller the number you choose, the fewer things in your photo that will be in focus. This is called depth of field. So whether or not you choose to change your aperture to bring down your exposure will depend on the look you’re going for with your photo. You may want a nice, blurry background and therefore you won’t be able to choose a smaller aperture without sacrificing that. You have 3 different ways in which you can deal with overexposed photos now. The next time you take a shot and it’s too bright, remember to change one of those 3 things - shutter speed, aperture or ISO.
