Expose Yourself!

Back in the day photographers would check hand held light meters in order to get the proper exposure and avoid wasting film. In the digital age, exposure continues to be an important creative tool. The notion that there's one "perfect" exposure can be misleading. In this episode the Switch to Manual Guys remind us that by experimenting with a range of possible exposures, you can change the mood and feel of an image. So don't just shoot in auto mode and accept what the camera gives you; take creative control and play around with your exposure. You'll be surprised by what you get!
