Do you struggle with your images turning out too bright or too dark in some situations? Let us help.
In this live video we are going to discuss how to get consistently exposed images in a wide variety of situations. We will also look at different exposure workflows for different genres of photography and how to develop an exposure system that works for you and what you are shooting.
Before watching this video, it is important to understand the basics of exposure and how shutter speed, ISO, and aperture/f-stop work together to control the brightness of your images. If you aren't totally comfortable with these three concepts, check out our photo basics series below.

Thanks for watching the video Live: BEST Exposure Workflow - Get the Perfect Exposure Every Time!
I can’t accurately express how helpful this video was. You explained things in a digestible and simple way that is rare to find on CZcams. I’m definitely subscribing!
You sir are an excellent teacher, the best explanation of the exposure triangle l have ever heard, and well worth a subscription!
Wow, thanks!
This is really really good content. The whiteboard made everything click. Like you said, it’s like a math problem. Thanks for the courses, game changer.
Thank you, can hear you loud n clear
Makes good sense. Thanks Forest for making this complex information so clear and for the good examples. Great video!
I cannot stand Word problems, but you have helped me so much with this video! Excellent content! I greatly appreciate your clear, brilliant explanations.
Thanks for the really helpful video. You demonstrate how to use manual mode in such easy way. Keep up the good work.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Wow! So thankful for you! You explain everything so incredibly easy to understand. More than twenty years of hoping someone could explain all of this so I fully understand. Thank you so much!!
You’re welcome!
I wish I had this video years ago when I started shooting. Seeing everything laid out similarly to a math problem helps everything click a bit more. I will be sharing with any of my friends trying to get in to photography!
I just found you , and I am so so glad i did, im new and have not grasped the concepts but just in this one day you have me thinking i can get it. I think i have decent equipment ( no nice tripod or flash yet ) but I love love Macro. I don’t even know the numbers on my macro lense( shame on me) but its cannon 100mm macro, and i got the telephoto cannon 100-400, and a couple other nice cannon red lens. Ive spent several thousand dollars, but need to learn about the different lenses. I’m so excited to try this stuff out. Ive been watching and bought someone else’s book and watch them, i thought they were good, but you brought it down to my level, very cool. I use my auto on the phone and get nice shots but not like when i use my cannon 80D I bought. I cant wait to try manual this weekend and use your examples and learn. Thank you so much, Grateful, Marcel In NH.
Man I have seen no better video than this at explaining photogharphy basic.👏👌
Wow! Thanks a lot!!!
hey im a first time phtographer i just got my fuji xh2s yestarday, already this video has helped me understand my camera so much more, i really appreciate it, while your talking I'm running the settings through my camera and taking pictures of my little pand on my desk and i was amazed at the difference form same picture but with f4 and f16 on the fuji 18mm lens is was a much nice picture at f4 with great bokeh or blurry background from other things on my desk :)
This was very helpful, thank you!
Awesome content as always, Forest!
Much appreciated!
I've been using Auto Iso with exposure compensation to get what I want. I also capped the Auto ISO at 6400. It's been working for me when doing handheld shooting.
I really like this , this is perfectly understandable I understand more now and I like the way went over this
This video is precisely what I was looking for, as I’m trying to figure out my camera. Thanks for doing great work 🙌🏽
Awesome! Thank you!
Actually I was looking for tutorials for my Insta 360 One RS. After following them on your channel I came across your further explanation of camera settings. I am delighted. I've learned a lot about my Canon EOS 2000D and how to use it. Your clear understandable voice makes it easy to follow without getting bored. Thank you very much
Thank you!
Great Job and I'll recommend to others.
Really good tutorial thanks
I've only been into photography for a few months and got a Canon 400D. It was an OK camera but I traded it for a used Canon 7D which I prefer.
You video's have helped a lot. Thanks.
Outstanding channel,extra ordinary contents i never found anywhere else
Thank you!!
Awesome content, I hope you know how much we appreciate it. Thnaks.
Our pleasure!
Thanks so much!
I typically use the 1/focal length method when shooting handheld. You can get away with 1/30 of a second shutter speed as long as you are shooting at 30mm focal length or less. I almost always shoot with a tripod but when I'm trying to get quick shots 1/focal length usually does the trick!
I discover your channel yesterday! greeting from Panama!
Welcome!! thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video! I have to go, hope to see more from you :)
see you and hear you well in South Florida ....
Thanks for a nice presentation of a workflow for drilling down on the required settings. In the film days, a photographer wold have to make a choice about the film he was buying depending on the expected lighting conditions: daylight or tungsten, fast (1000 ASA) or slow (200 ASA). So, rather than pick an ISO/F-stop/Shutter combination at random, could the workflow be improved by noting the current light conditions (which generally be known and will not change) and starting by selecting an ISO which would fit (e.g. strong daylight, ISO 200; dusk, ISO 800 or 1000) and then randomly select shutter and aperture and start from there? This would have the advantage of eliminating one of the three variables from the start based on conditions which are known (i.e. overall light value).
LOVING your videos!!! I have a question, is there a how-to video on LR masking where you can use a preset, but only apply it to a certain part of your image??
Nah! It is pronounced "eeso" from Greek "ISOS" meaning equal!! Lol. Great information as always. Love your videos. Learned a lot from this channel.
I'm a freelance Outdoor & Science writer. I would really like to learn whatever you can share relative to Macro Videography of very small objects, such as a fly. Just recently I decided to make tutorial videos of myself tying flies (for fly fishermen/fly tiers) & post them on CZcams. The camera has to be focused very close to the fly & hopefully make the fly appear even closer than the fly tiers sees it, if possible. Also, I'm considering buying a weather-sealed Pentax. I presently use an old digital Canon (one of the very first DSLRs). As I recall, Sony has some good weather-sealed ones as well, but I think they were a bit more expensive. Back in the '70s I had a Pentax & I loved it (of course, a film model). If you have advice on the choice of brands, I would really appreciate it. Thank You so very much & if you are ever in the Pacific NW, I would be happy to guide you for fishing for species ranging from Trout to Pacific Salmon & Steelhead ( of course, no charge. I have guided anglers from as far away as Scandinavia). Thanks Again😊
I would love to get in on the next chat to ask some questions. How do I know When/Where to log in for that? Great Teaching ... thanks.
great
Is the goal always to get that meter needle to be centered? I always wondered about that because when I shoot to like a brighter exposure and my meter is never centered. Am I doing this wrong? Thanks
Just dropped by ~. All good -
glad to hear
Any recommendations on settings for Safari trip
hear you just fine
I did everything you said up to and including setting the meter to evaluative. You lost me on the “spin the dial” and keep the meter in the center. I don’t see anything to center.
Forest,
I don't think you were able to see about three or four questions that came in when you asked for questions, so here was my question.
After watching numerous videos and reading articles about metering modes, I have come to the conclusion that metering modes are subjective to each photographer. Some photographers primarily prefer spot metering while others use primarily matrix or evaluative metering. I even found one professional photographer who doesn’t care or even knows what metering mode their camera is in.
I am a Nikon dslr user and shoot 99% of the time in manual mode using matrix metering. I’ve been experimenting the last few weeks using spot metering. I shoot a wide variety of subjects ( people, animals, flowers, landscapes, sports). I’m also aware of how your camera can mislead you and how to correct the exposure when it recognizes a black object or a white object.
Are there any instances or situations when spot metering would be advantageous over matrix or evaluative?
Roger
That is a great question. The answer is unfortunately, that it depends on two main factors. First, are we using a mirrorless camera or DSLR. If we are using a Mirrorless camera, I would almost always shoot zone/evaluative/matrix metering. Mirrorless cameras let us see a live histogram of our scene and there's really no reason to ever go to spot metering when zone metering will do pretty well and you can literally see your photo before you take it. If I'm using a DSLR, the answer changes a bit. Usually, I'll be on zone metering. Sometime, I will switch to spot, but really only in controlled scenes when perfection is very important. Truth be told there are obviously about 5000 more scenarios you could come up with and the answer in all of them would be "it depends." Basically there is no "right" answer. It comes down to what you prefer as a photographer.
What needle is this and where can I see it/find it? Canon 6D Mark II
Working in South Ms
Hi can u explain the sports settings please
Can anyone please tell me what lens is shown at the beginning of the video?
What microphone are you using??? It sounds amazing 👏

I want to learn about low light sunset/night time photography
Specific-Sunset weddings
I followed the exposure meter exactly but then my photos (landscape) lost the sky details bc of higher ISO. I think looking at the histogram is just as useful.
For sure!
I'm curious, what model is the Fuji camera at 10:10 ?
That right there is a Fuji X-T3.
@@forestchaput Thank you 👍🏼
Why no discussion of diffraction at f16 >?
Just didn't have time in the video. We have other videos that discuss that.
? Are you the one who teaches the classes , if i chose to take a course. ? Thank You I would not want to purchase a class if you were not the one teaching , as your very impressive and understandable for me.
I teach a lot of our classes. All of our instructors are top-notch as well. Any class you see on our website tells you who the instructor is so you can know if it’s me, someone else, or me and a few other people.
Ok
You are explaining abstract technical concepts of photography with out a single visual to attach it to the concept……you are loosing me man!!!!! This is a long video please use samples to reinforce the concepts. As a teacher I know, the more the teacher talks, the more the student sleeps. Great info though.
Yeah, that's one of the disadvantages of a live class. It's hard to show examples. Glad you liked the information though.
Too simple
Sorry you felt that way!
Says basic right in the description, comon now
