Hi,
I've been reading about dodging and burning and found it difficult to understand;
"dodging decreases the exposure for areas of the print that the photographer wishes to be lighter, while burning increases the exposure to areas of the print that should be darker."
If the exposure is decreased, shouldn't it make the area darker instead of lighter? On the same note, shouldn't increasing exposure make the area lighter?
could anyone explain this to a newbie who never used a film camera before?
Thanks
