The Rule of Thirds
Learn all about how the rule of thirds can be used to improve the composition of your photos, and how it's not really a rule at all.
ISO
ISO ratings are given to the light sensitivity of different films for analogue cameras and to the light senors in digital cameras. They can be used to benchmark all cameras, and can be changed to change exposure levels in photos.
The Histogram
The histogram is a live measure of the exposure in a photo. Learn how to read it and use it when taking photos in this short clip.
Hard and Soft Light
Learn the difference between hard and soft light, and how they can be used to create different effects in photos.
