Have you heard of “red eye”? It is a term used to describe the red effect seen in the eyes of subjects when their picture is taken with a flashgun.

It happens because light from the flashgun travels through the front of the eye and is reflected off the back of the eye back onto the sensor of the camera. The back of the eye, being composed of lots of red tissue and blood vessels, reflects the light as red. Hence “red eye”.

Overexposure is a term often discussed in photography. What does it mean?

Simply put, it is when too much light is allowed to reach the sensor and the resulting image is too “light” or “bright”.

Why does it happen?

To get a decent image, the camera has to select a combination of aperture (the size of the hole in the lens that lets in light) and shutter speed (the length of time the sensor is exposed to the light when taking a picture).

There will always be room for the special quality and elegance of black and white digital photography images, especially when combining it with the many benefits offered by digital photography in general.

In digital photography and imaging there are many features and techniques available for image control and management. Whereas these are mostly aimed at color aspects, many of the techniques can be applied to black and white digital photography.

Digital photography technique offers both challenges and rewards. However, in essence, photography remains just that when you convert to digital cameras: you still have to know how to compose and shoot pictures to get the best results.

The way you see your subject, and visualize the resulting image doesn’t change in any basic way with digital photography technique, but there are exciting new approaches and technologies to understand and to master!
