Reading on exposure determination: Expose for the Highlights

Please read the the first part of this handout that I wrote several years ago on exposure determination. The information is still valid.
Please also read this technical document on exposure from Adobe. It is very techy, but it does an excellent job of explaining why you should expose for the highlights. Also from Adobe, is this article on understanding raw capture.

That should be enough to keep you busy until Monday.

Remember to bring your camera and instruction manual to class until told otherwise.
