5. Learning Scale
4: Not only can I identify/analyze the Elements of Exposure, I can take photographs that demonstrate their function.
3: I can identify and analyze the Elements of Exposure within another person’s photograph.
2: I understand that the Elements of Exposure relate to light and I can remember some basic information about each one of them.
1: I understand that the Elements of Exposure are important photography concepts, but I don’t understand their function.

6. The Light Meter The light meter provides a measurement of the exposure
The goal is to keep the arrow above the zero

Too much light
Indicated by a “+” on the light meter

9. Under-exposed
Not enough light
Indicated by a “-” on the light meter
