Exposure Made Easy with Rich Seiling

You Are Underexposing Your Photos. You are losing data. I look at the work of a lot of photographers every year, and one of the most common problems I see is that most images are underexposed by 1.5 to 2 whole stops. Not only are you losing valuable shadow detail, but you also sacrifice 75% or more of the tonal levels your camera could have captured. That’s not exposing to the right! In fact, it is far from it! The truth is that the common methods of judging exposure on digital cameras are problematic and inconsistent – the underexposed photos I see every week are proof of this. Your current methods won’t solve the problem, because they are creating it. I’ve tested, experimented, dug into the problem and found a solution that has made achieving great exposures EVERY TIME easier than ever. I’ve been using this new method for over two years, and my exposures are more accurate than ever, truly exposing to the right, recording all the shadow detail I can from the scene. It also allows me to work with greater confidence and speed when faced with challenging lighting conditions. I cannot tell you how these simple techniques have transformed my photography. I have greater confidence that I captured exactly what I wanted, I can work faster, and I get better results. I’d love to share what I’ve learned with you – Rich Seiling
