Exposure in the Context of Digital Photography

Exposure in the Context of Digital Photography

Exposure is the understanding between the image seen by the human eye and the image seen by the camera. A perfectly exposed photograph will render the scene as you see with your naked eye. That means if your subject looks gray it should exactly render that gray in the captured image. But there is no such technology currently available that can reproduce the full range of tones that our eye can see; or is capable of capturing the full visible electromagnetic spectrum.
