Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
So I see all this talk about exposure, like changing up and down. Is this the same as fstop adjustments?
 
Exposure is a formula that we use to correctly capture the light in our photographs. Three factors control exposure.

Aperture
Shutter Speed
ISO (Film Speed)

If you are not familiar with these concepts, it would be in your best interest to get a good book or start googling. There is plenty of information out there on this subject. Check your local library for beginner books by John Hedgecoe, or Brian Peterson.

http://photo.net/learn/ is another good place to read in the meantime.
 
...I'm a relative noob myself, but my understanding is that 'f-stop' refers specifically to aperture settings, and as digital matt said, that's only part of the exposure equation...
 
Okay, I guess I didn't word my question correctly but you answered it. I was wanting to know if there was another adjustment for exposure. I understand ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture are ways to control the amount of light that makes it to the sensor. I just wasn't sure if there was another light adjustment that I had somehow missed.
