RE: Photography Basics - 1a - The Exposure Triangle: Aperture

in #photography • 8 years ago (edited)

In any case... I'm going to go a bit purist on you :)
Meaning... the "triangle" for me controls the brightness of the resulting image. Exposure, if defined as the quantity of light that hits the sensor, is controlled only by aperture and shutter speed. I know that this may get confusing especially for beginners, and it gets a bit philosophical... but in my mind these are the correct terms

    That's a good point. If we define exposure as the amount of light hitting a sensor, and ISO is the sensitivity of a sensor, it doesn't really relate to the former.

    For the sake of brevity I'll leave it out for now.

    Thanks!
