Have you ever been photographing a subject with tricky lighting or lots of variation between bright and darker areas but were not sure what exposure setting to go with? One way to work in such situations is to manually play around with your exposure control and take a series of shots – the problem with this is that it takes time and if you are photographing a changing environment (for example a sunset which changes from moment to moment) you can lose ‘the moment’ while you get things right. Most DSLRs (and some more advanced compact cameras) come with a feature called ‘ Automatic Exposure Bracketing ‘ (AEB) which can be useful to learn how to use in such situations.

Introduction to Aperture in Digital Photography
Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been writing a series of posts on elements that digital photographers need to learn about in order to get out of Auto mode and learn how to manually set the exposure of their shots. I’ve largely focussed upon three elements of the ‘ exposure triangle ‘ – ISO , Shutter Speed and Aperture . I’ve previously written about the first two and today would like to turn our attention to Aperture .Previously I’ve introduced the concept of the Exposure Triangle as a way of thinking about getting out of Auto Mode and exploring the idea of manually adjusting the exposure of your shots.
