= intensity x time

AMOUNT OF LIGHT ALLOWED THROUGH THE LENS BY THE APERTURE OR F-STOP LENS OPENING – in conjunction with -- THE DURATION OF TIME THAT THE LIGHT IS ALLOWED THROUGH THE LENS AS CONTROLLED BY THE SHUTTER SPEED.  THE COMBINATION OF THE TWO DETERMINES HOW MUCH LIGHT STRIKES THE FILM OR DIGITAL SENSOR TO MAKE AN EXPOSURE.

Term
F-Stop
Definition
How the aperture is expressed. The smaller the number the more light is allowed in
Term
Latent Image
Definition
Created at the moment the film is exposed
Term
Overexposed or Dense
Definition
When too much light has hit the film
Term
Underexposed or Thin
Definition
When too little light has hit the film
Term
Aperture
Definition
Controls intesnity of light and depth of field
Term
Three factors that control DOF
Definition

@font-face { font-family: "Arial Black"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; }ol { margin-bottom: 0in; }ul { margin-bottom: 0in; }

1.     APERTURE OR F-STOP 

2.     FOCAL LENGTH OF LENS

3.     DISTANCE FROM CAMERA TO SUBJECT

Term
Two types of exposure meters
Definition
Reflected & Incident
Term
Reflected Exposure Meter
Definition
Measures the light reflected by the subject. They are generally Center Weighted, Spot, or Matrix. Some cameras have all three. Meters in SLR cameras are reflected. @font-face { font-family: "Arial Black"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; } CAN BE “FOOLED” BY VERY LIGHT TONED OR WHITE OBJECTS AND BY BRIGHT BACKGROUNDS.  CONVERSELY, THEY CAN BE “FOOLED” BY VERY DARK TONED OR BLACK OBJECTS AND BY DARK BACKGROUNDS.
Term
Incident Exposure Meter
Definition
Measures the light falling on the subject
Term
Exposure Meter
Definition
Averages all the light reflected from the area it measures and places it on middle gray.
Term
Middle Gray
Definition
@font-face { font-family: "Arial Black"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; } A TONE THAT REFLECTS 18% OF THE LIGHT THAT HITS IT.  IT IS HALF WAY BETWEEN WHITE AND BLACK.
Term
Gray Cards
Definition
ARE AVAILABLE TO PHOTOGRAPHERS AS AN AID IN DETERMINING EXPOSURE.
Term
Bracketing
Definition
Taking more than one exposure of a scene
Term
Latitide
Definition
@font-face { font-family: "Arial Black"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; } MARGIN FOR ERROR THAT ALLOWS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF UNDER OR OVEREXPOSURE WITHOUT SACRIFICING THE ABILITY TO OBTAIN A “GOOD” IMAGE. 
Term
Negative Film
Definition
@font-face { font-family: "Arial Black"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; } HAS GREATER LATITUDE THAN REVERSAL FILM OR DIGITAL PROCESSES AND THE LATITUDE FOR OVEREXPOSURE IS  GREATER THAN FOR UNDEREXPOSURE. 
Term
 DIGITAL IMAGING OR REVERSAL (TRANSPARENCY) FILM
Definition
Opposite of how to deal with negative film. It's better to underexpose then overexpose when taking a pictue. "Expose to the right" of the histogram.
Term
Histogram
Definition
A graph that plots the tones of a digital image
Term
@font-face { font-family: "Arial Black"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; } LORD WILLIAM THOMSON KELVIN
Definition

@font-face { font-family: "Arial Black"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; }

A BRITISH PHYSICIST, DEVEOPED A SCALE TO MEASURE THE COLOR QUALITY OF LIGHT.  IT IS NOW KNOWN AS THE KELVIN SCALE AND THE COLOR OF LIGHT IS MEASURED IN KELVIN DEGREES.

Term
