=== Under- and Over- exposure ===
Cameras have a limited dynamic range or ability to properly represent the full variation of light levels from darkness to brightness. What may seem as too dark or too bright for our eyes is frequently much beyond the possibilities of our cameras. The ability to compensate light levels is intrinsic to our eyes while it can only be possible to adjust with major limitations on our cameras. This means that it is essential to predict when overly bright or dark areas may appear in our photos and how this may affect our captures.
Practicing snapshots and quickly evaluating photos is the most likely way to improve your photography skills. There is never the case of taking too much photos if you make slight changes on each capture. As it will be explained, there are many exploration possibilities and suggestions about specific scenarios will help in determining expectations and potential results.
