Image for Time Exposure

Time Exposure

Time exposure refers to the duration that a camera’s sensor or film is exposed to light when capturing an image. A longer exposure allows more light to reach the sensor, resulting in a brighter picture and the ability to photograph low-light scenes. Conversely, a shorter exposure captures less light, freezing motion and reducing blur. Adjusting exposure time is a key tool for photographers to control the brightness and clarity of their images, especially in challenging lighting conditions. It’s a fundamental aspect of photography that balances light intake to produce the desired visual effect.
