And some of it is very similar in concept to working with audio (something I know you're up on).ISO is essentially the sensitivity of the system to the incoming signal (in this case light striking the sensor).  And, like a microphone, the stronger the signal (sound source) the less gain you have to apply, up to a point when the source is so strong that distortion starts doing nasty things. On the other end, you can crank up the gain if you have a low level source (to a point) and then background and internally generated noise becomes an issue.At its simplest, managing exposure is keeping a good balance of signal strength (light to the sensor) to both avoid distortion and minimize noise, while allowing a shutter speed (exposure length) that is appropriate to what you are trying to accomplish by taking the picture. (there is a lot more to it, including Depth of Field control, but this is basics).Examples of appropriate use of shutter speed are freezing motion (as in sports photography) or intentionally allowing motion blur as in water over a fall, or the swing of a golf club.</blockquote>
