Equivalent Exposure
by George Schaub

 Now we come to how ISO, aperture, and shutter speed relate to one another. They exist to balance the amount of light in the scene with the recording made by the sensor and ultimately made into an image file on the memory card. Your goal is to record the scene with as true and balanced a color and lightness of what you saw when you snapped the shutter.

To review, the ISO setting of the camera sensor is the sensitivity to light. We raise or lower it according to the light level and how we want to utilize aperture and shutter speed settings.

How-To
Get More Highlight And Shadow Detail
Using A D-SLR’s Dynamic Range Expansion Feature
by Peter K. Burian

 In an ideal world, all digital photos would be technically perfect: well exposed and exhibiting detail in all areas including any bright segments, the mid-tones and in dark shadow areas. While that level of detail may be possible in photos taken in “flat” illumination, as on an overcast day, real world lighting often produces very high contrast results. Whether you’re shooting outdoors on a sunny day or indoors in a location with dark plus bright areas, the images may not be technically perfect. Overall, the effect is likely to be harsh with black shadows, excessively bright highlights, and underexposed mid-tones. Except in close-up photos, flash is not a practical solution to high contrast, so you’ll want to consider alternatives. There are several, including high-tech amenities available with some D-SLRs for generating images with greater highlight and shadow detail.
