Underexposure is THE ENEMY of digital photographs! In this video I show you how underexposure can ruin a photo, losing color & adding tons of noise to a photograph. When you underexpose you dramatically lower the dynamic range of the captured image. Your camera might have 10 or 12 stops of dynamic range (which you paid a lot of money for) but if you don't expose properly you are wasting those capabilities.
I've noticed over the years many people are afraid of high ISO. I show you how exposing properly with high ISO can produce better results, check out the video!

My camera has a tendency to under expose a little bit (in AV)that's why i use to överexpose slightly.

That has helped me a lot to understand exposer.
Would like some tips on shooting into the sun, as you said you were going to do a video. Yes please to that.
Keep up the great videos!
I tried this with my Nikon D5000, amazing results
What would the result be if you were to use lower ISO and add a few extra stops?
Would this make it more grainy and loose detail.
But having watched the video againI I now have it.
