  Exposure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Acute exposure, the exposure to a toxic substance which may result in harm or death

 Exposure (photography) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In photography, exposure is the total amount of light allowed to fall on the sensor (photographic film or CCD) during the process of taking a photograph.
The "correct" exposure for a photograph is determined by the sensitivity of the sensor used.
An approximately correct exposure will be obtained on a sunny day using ISO 100 film, an aperture of f/16 and a shutter speed of 1/125th of a second.

Photography became available for the mass-market in 1901 with the introduction of the Kodak Brownie camera, and, more importantly, with the industrialisation of film processing and printing.
Color photography may form images as a positive transparency, intended for use in a slide projector or as color negatives, intended for use in creating positive color enlargements on specially coated paper.
Photography (Greek "drawing with light" from photos = light, and graphis = stylus, paintbrush or graphê = representation by means of lines, drawing) is the technique of recording, by chemical or mechanical means, a permanent image on a layer of material sensitive to light exposure.

The correct exposure (aperture and shutter settings) can be derived from tables or calculators or by direct measurement of the subject luminance with a light meter.
The second important condition of exposure is frequency: acute (single exposure), subchronic (repeated exposures that in total last for no more than 10 percent of the lifetime of an individual), and...
Exposure meters, or light meters, measure the light in a scene to establish optimum camera settings for correct exposures.

 Solar Eclipse Photography - Multiple Exposure Sequences
Using the correct solar filters for both your own eyes and for the camera is by far the most important factor in eclipse photography, since an incorrect filter may result in permanent loss of vision for you and irrepairable damage to your camera.
Determining the correct exposures for partial phases of the eclipse is a matter of trial and error.
The exposures used depend on how close the Sun is to the horizon, since the intensity of the Sun near sunrise/sunset diminshes with the increased atmospheric path length.

 Nude Art Photography
Nude photography is the genre of art photography, whose subject is the representation of the naked (full nude) or partially naked (half nude) human body.
The boundaries of nude photography, erotic photography and pornography are so undefined and continuously changing that they are always determined and defined by the subjective moral view of the individual and the generally accepted cultural confines of “customs and tradition”.
Tasteful nude photography is often regarded as high skilled photography as besides technical knowledge and the ability to manipulate light the nude photographer also needs strong communication skills and the ability to build a positive relationship with his model.

 BoBShotS Photography - Understanding Correct Photo Exposure
Obtaining good exposure for a photograph is achieved by allowing an appropriate amount of light to enter the camera and expose the film -- too much light and the photograph will be overexposed; too little, underexposed.
For natural light photography the light source is typically the sun and the photographer is therefore concerned with the intensity of the sun and what may be blocking its light.
The problem is that the camera's automatic exposure system does negate this effect with its assumption that all subjects are of medium reflectivity, resulting in incorrect exposures for all but medium brightness subjects.

 Popular Photography Magazine: Using Long Shutter Speeds
Shooting subjects in low light such as moonlit landscapes and dimly lit interiors by available light require exposures that are much too long for handholding your camera, but the results are worth the added effort.
When it comes to creative long exposures, there isn't one right shutter speed for a particular effect—pictures taken at different settings can all be interesting.
Incidentally, if you are taking a long exposure and auto headlights move into the scene, just hold your hand or a piece of cardboard in front of the lens until the intruding vehicle has passed.

 Exposure strategies for digital cameras with manual exposure controls
Because of the way the exposure duration is actually controlled inside film cameras, the term shutter speed is often substituted for exposure time, but to call for an exposure of 1/250 sec is clearly to specify a duration, not a speed.
EC is particularly useful for manual bracketing and for overriding the camera's exposure theory in priority modes, where EC adjusts only the exposure setting left to the camera's control.
Often, this is all the control you need to get the shot in your mind's eye, but higher-end digital cameras with exposure compensation and fully manual exposure allow you break the bonds of camera-imposed exposures to reach the tonality and motion control you had in mind.

 Exposure: Exposure: Glossary: Learn: Digital Photography Review
The exposure is the amount of light received by the film or sensor and is determined by how wide you open the lens diaphragm (aperture) and by how long you keep the film or sensor exposed (shutterspeed).
The effect an exposure has depends on the sensitivity of the film or sensor.
For instance if you are shooting at ISO 100 with an aperture of f/8 and a shutterspeed of 1/125s, doubling the shutterspeed to 1/250 (halving the exposure time) and reducing the f-number one stop to f/5.6 (doubling the aperture) will lead to the same exposure of 13 EV.

 For Photography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The disappointment many feel from their photographs when it comes to exposure is not from detail missing in the highlights or the shadows (to be discussed in a moment), but because it does not communicate what we wanted about the scene.
The proper exposure for an element in a scene is when detail can be seen in that element, detail such as leaves, ruffles in a cloud.
The exposure range is generally within the 2 1/2 to 3 stops without having to mess with flash or filters.

Shorter-term exposures may be up to 1/3 of a second, and are often used to capture motion blur, as illustrated by the photo of the Noddy Tern in flight.
The challenge for obtaining long exposures in the daytime is reducing the amount of light through the lens.
Technically, there is no "accurate" way to meter light for night photography for any given scene because light meters can give dramatically different values in very low light ranges, and different parts of the scene can be very bright or very dark, simply due to the nature of night.

 Photographic Science: Exposure
In effect, under unusual conditions or for an unusual exposure technique, what is to be rendered the equivalent of 18% gray on the film image is shifted to something higher or lower in luminance than the overall subject average.
In calculating camera exposure settings, a change of one EV in the settings equals a one stop change in exposure and this is done by changing the shutter speed or the aperture by one stop.
Sometimes an exposure must be estimated due to a camera not having a built-in meter, not having a hand-held meter, or a meter malfunction (e.g., dead batteries).

 Ultimate Exposure Computer
Switch from automatic to manual exposure (a good idea anyway) and simply move to the next larger aperture or the next slower shutter speed (for a light object) or to the next smaller aperture or faster shutter speed (for a dark object).
Automatic focus and exposure (especially TTL flash) are extremely useful for some specialized types of photography, such as sports or photojournalism.
For some films, exposures involving shutter speeds in excess of several seconds may require additional exposure because the film's sensitivity decreases with continued exposure to light for long periods (this is called "reciprocity failure").

 Commanding Exposure: Photography Guides
Your camera's light meter bases all of its exposure settings on 18% gray, an "average" tone somewhere in the middle between light and darkness.
Subjects that are lighter or darker than "average" fool your camera and ultimately lead to exposure errors that can ruin even the most well composed photograph.
Bracketing your exposure means shooting over and under the exposure setting recommended by the camera (or the one you've set manually).
