TTF 01-Exposure & Stops
Camera Camera light Aperture sensitive Shutter & material Lens Total Exposure depends on 1. Aperture area f/# 2. Time the shutter is open t 3. Sensitivity of the "film" ISO Sensitivity Camera Camera light Aperture sensitive Shutter & material Lens ISO: 100 200 400 800 1600 Brighter Image Darker Image A factor of 2 is called a "Stop"
Exposure time, t, is controlled by the amount of time the camera detector is turned "ON". t t: 1/1000 1/500 1/250 1/125 1/60 1/30 1/15 1/8 1/4 1/2 1 seconds t: 1/1024 1/512 1/256 1/128 1/64 1/32 1/16 1/8 1/4 1/2 1 seconds Darker Brighter

Exposure Modulation
Long Exposure time in the dark: Write with a light source.
Double Exposure: Turn room lights on, off, on, off
