Camera Basics - How to Use Expose to the Right (ETTR) to get Higher Quality Photos

The video tutorial explains the concept of 'Exposing to the Right' (ETTR) in digital photography, which involves adjusting the exposure to push the histogram to the right without blowing out highlights. This technique maximizes image quality by capturing more tonal information and reducing noise. The tutorial covers the technical aspects of ETTR, including dynamic range and RAW file benefits, and provides practical advice on applying ETTR in various photography scenarios. It also discusses the limitations of ETTR, such as its applicability in different genres and the need for practice to master the technique.
