The exposure lab · Interactive
This is the exposure triangle challenge — the first thing you’ll master in the Professional Basic Course. Balance aperture, shutter and ISO on this Bengaluru street and watch the light respond.
Wide open (f/1.8) melts the skyline into bokeh. Stop down for front-to-back sharpness.
Slow shutter streaks the auto-rickshaw. Fast shutter freezes it mid-motion.
Higher ISO brightens the sensor — and invites grain. Keep it as low as the light allows.
▸ Perfect exposure. You'd nail this frame.
Master this in 4 days →You just touched 10% of day one. The rest happens behind a real camera.
Subject dossier · The mentor
