Larry’s humor always puts everyone in a good mood!
He included ISO, where you should use the lowest available ISO to avoid noise Aperture which controls the depth of field and also when you want an image to be sharp and shutter speed when you want to slow, stop and freeze motion. Larry Richardson didn’t let a little knee surgery, nine days before the meeting, stop him from presenting his refreshing mini-course in Exposure Value (EV). This slideshow is now a YouTube presentation on our web site for ALL to see!
