The exercises in this chapter will provide a technical lesson and a set of aesthetic exercises focusing on values that make up the tonal range of the composition. You’ll explore the file size and resolution of a bitmap image to understand the nature of an image created by pixels. Then you’ll study the values in a grayscale digital photograph. You’ll learn to apply a zone system to gray values and to use a digital camera with this system in mind, for readers who opt to shoot in manual mode. Finally, you’ll create a PDF to showcase your organized files in Adobe Bridge.
