Perfecting Digital Camera Exposure byBarry Haynes, July/August 2010

“It’s critically important to get a correct exposure when shooting with a digital camera…I believe the image is the most important thing. That’s why steps for getting a good exposure have to be second nature, practiced and thought out ahead of time.”

Haynes outlines procedures that include choosing camera settings, using the histogram, managing ISO, meter setting, shutter and aperture; saving highlights, and shooting in RAW.
